I personally think it is best to work with local professionals with a good track record. 

Would love to connect with local investors in the area!

Lastly, your going to want to get with local governance, a lot more then normal.

Yup and its a joke when you have these proclamations from those running for pres that they are going to magically accelerate construction.. they can do it if they want to pay 100% of it.. but if they expect the private sector that has to work through local zoning etc.. that aint happening and you cant force people to sell the land cheaper than they think its worth or can get on the open market just because we need starter housing.

And the locals in Highlands have been fiercely debating STR's and regulations for the last few years, so I wouldn't be comfortable buying there.

Look up your local laws on how much notice you have to give to to end tenancy and then give them that notice.

So, let's try some local real estate meetup groups.

I think you should explore local and non-local CPAs before making a decision.

If I had known then what I know now, I would not have used them.Stick to you local guys you can talk to.

Using these parts of local zoning can lead to potential deals.
