@Denise CarringerMy preference is to go local - some community banks offer this type of service or local escrow companies, which is what I found, because they offer a higher level of service than most national.

Unless you use a local professional familiar with the market, who you trust, best way to know a good deal is to study the market.

They offer networking opportunities, education, and local insights for landlords.4.

The BiggerPockets community is great for guidance, but nothing beats local mentorship.

Being a part of the local REIAs in both towns can help you understand more of what is going on.  

Hi @Fulati PaerhatiI'm local here in Memphis and for that price point, I would recommend the Millington and Oakland areas. 

I really want to do local meetups and interact with more advanced investors but don’t know where to start.

I suggest you start with developers in your local area (your county and neighboring counties level) because they would be your most likely partner or parcel buyer. 

I do not want to pay a plumber to do the plumbing for this work.  

I financed this property using down payment funds from 403B and a local commercial bank.
