Networking Tips: How can I leverage industry events, meetups, and online communities to build relationships with potential investors?

Welcome to the community and be ready for a huge amount of information at your finger tips.

A $200,000 duplex might have identical rents in municipality “A” and municipality “B” but the property tax rates will vary, local regulations will dictate licensing requirements, labor rates will vary & the particular location will dictate insurance premiums since insurance carriers will weigh local replacement costs and whether the municipality is viewed as being a “plaintiff friendly” in arriving at insurance premiums.Better situated assets will attract better tenants.

Like replacing the doors/ locks, etc. and  its getting frustrating.Whenever I articulate my frustrations to my wife it causes friction within our relationship I want to get this house rented asap but I wanted to get a barometer to see if perhaps my expectations are a bit unrealistic , especially with consideration that no one could get in the house due to the fleas until recently.

Due to the likelihood of needing to replace AC and/or furnaces in the next 5 years, there will probably be another year or two of near zero cash flow at some point.When I bought these houses, the neighborhoods had a lot of rental homes, but were still desirable affordable neighborhoods.

If anyone has any advice or tips that would be great, I'm new to real estate investing and live in an expensive area, and wanted to invest out of state.

Unbeknownst to everyone until of course we had to replace some drywall and all these needles came pouring out.... hahahahahaha I had some experience too, except it's bunch of pills.
