Sometimes going to local investor meet ups after investing for 15 years and building a large portfolio is a little disappointing.

@Jay Hinrichs yes Maui did the same thing after the Lahaina fire, and you're also right that Santa Rosa had no such restrictions. 

In many instances putting bad money after good by furnishing homes for STR or MTR leasing or perhaps making their personal credit vulnerable by agreeing to Sub To arrangement.

I would start with that route and look at other markets for scaling purposes after @Sean Dillon

For a 203k loan, you’ll want to target areas that have properties needing work but also a strong potential for appreciation after rehab.

You'll want to focus on securing a favorable financing deal at the refinance stage—ideally, you want to pull out as much of your initial investment as possible while keeping monthly payments manageable.A big consideration is understanding your after-repair value (ARV) and ensuring the rehab costs add value in proportion to that.

My biggest client today is a seller I didn’t even represent during his sale of a 24-unit building—he had another agent.

Maybe the deal would always fall out of contract after the inspection.
