@Wendy Abrahamcan you go to meetups and network and try to find someone local? 

Loans are nothing more than networking, and strong financials which you look to have on the property.

Your data is also city wide and if you were to focus in on the lowest tier neighborhoods in these markets they tend to be the most stagnant and this is where many buyers who invest in the lower cost SFH home strategy focus their investments.

Welcome,BP is undoubtedly an excellent platform for both networking and enhancing your knowledge. 

@Lorraine Haddengo to meetups and network

Despite making six figures and I do as well, supporting a family and living in the Bay Area quickly drains that.My advice is to attend as much meet ups as possible to network.

Imagine if the investors approached it as a work-shop to co-op networks, ideas, resources to change direction of things.... 

The Raymond St deal came through local market research and networking.

Focus on building a network of contractors for repairs, set clear boundaries for house hacking, and take advantage of tax benefits.

Whether it’s Providence, Omaha, Austin, or Phoenix, I’ve got the network to help you find the best deal and make it work for you.Best of luck.. and welcome to the investing world; it’s a wild ride, but one that’s totally worth it!
