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

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

Check with your broker and make sure this fits with your local laws.

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

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

The last one, however, started with many people from two certain neighborhoods, gathered by a local non-profit, who spoke much about affordable housing, being displaced, etc.

Also Cocktails and Real Estate at Patriots place.BP does have a local meetup section which usually has good local options.

Hearing that you get bombarded with inquiries is great to hear and gives me more confidence in my local market for filling a demand.

THANKS Your local credit union might be your best bet.

From what I've heard, local banks are sometimes more flexible than the big guys.A buddy of mine managed to snag a HELOC on his rental property, which isn't always straightforward, but it opened doors for him.
