Establishing a good local team will be crucial for you. 

Try reaching out to local media outlets, search for articles talking bout fraud, find the reporter who wrote the article and reach out to them.

Also, make sure to connect with local contractors to get estimates on your prospect properties.

We've invested around $50,000 in improvements (central air and hardscaping) and our mortgage is a 30-year fixed at 2.5%, with a PITI of $2400.We think it could rent for $3,750 - $4,000 per month based on local comps.
