I would join local business networking groups to get inside deals.

Starting with remote investing, like in Charlotte, can be an option, but it might be worth exploring local opportunities in Orange County too.

Facebook Groups, local meetups

A successful rental property should offer positive cash flow, meaning your rental income should exceed your monthly expenses (mortgage, taxes, insurance, maintenance, etc.).To find the right tenants, ensure the property is priced competitively within the local rental market.

Perhaps reach out to local agents who work with a lot of buyers in your market and see if any of them need a place to rent while they house shop (inventory is still low).

probably a wholesale company.. get a second opinion from a local RE agent so you dont get hosed. 

That said, here are the actuals:Unit count: 13 offices (sizes range from 165sqft to 2,800 sqft - it's a local mom & pop type commercial building in an A-/ B+ town that's growing) Gross Rent: $20,801Expense Ratio: 50.7%NOI: $9,736 (year 1, after vacancy) ---Cash Flow: $2,536 / moCap Rate: 6.5%

These are being issued by local "nonprofits" who are mass emailing landlords pretending to be section 8 tenants.

Quote from @Devin Slone: I live in Huntington and was looking for local meetups to go to and I just stumbled upon this post!

Hi Karen, Have you tried reaching out to any other local investors or property management companies?
