Any information on local clubs I could join that have this kind of environment would be appreciated.

JamesI work with the loan programs through wholesale lenders so you wouldn't be able to go direct unless they have a retail side.

I have a commercial property with four retail spaces and three different businesses.

A few months ago I started attending a local investors meeting and have become obsessed with learning about real estate wholesaling.

Do you rely on inspections, local contractors, the agent, or property managers to get eyes on it?

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

Not sure if Hawaii did the same thing in the lahina fire I know when I was there right after the fire ( Honolulu) I read in the local paper how the locals were getting offers and were offended..

That said, Detroit is very much a block-by-block city, so local knowledge is critical to avoid issues.If you’re serious about learning more, feel free to send me a DM.

Please advise.ThanksMel I'd recommend a local Independent Agency that has access to multiple markets including surplus lines

Suzanne, This is impressive - love to see deals being made in my local market.
