Have you considered specific local market conditions?

I'm a local Duluth investor, happy to share my experience and can give some recommendations to help build your team.

The best deal I can find today is one that you buy cash, invest a rehab and when you pull out 75% of your ARV you leave maybe a small amount of money in the deal and you break even (BEFORE DISCOUNTING FOR VACANCY, REPAIRS, etc) Yes that means you leave like 10-25k in the deal and your payment becomes $3000/m and your rent is $3000 a month or slightly less.This is for my local market and for Class B or higher RE. 

Get those young healthcare professionals butts in seats for an "informal first-time homebuyer Q&A" with you and a local lender that has some FTHB goodies (and maybe you offer some healthcare professional goodies, like paying for a home warranty plus a $1k credit towards closing costs - only for folks attending your Q&A).

They could also call the local board of realtors and talk to the grievance or professional standards dept to file a complaint.

so, good inventory gets snapped up by locals before OOS investors even get a look at it.

Hello BPers I was going to attend my first local investor event/meet up and was wondering what people normally wear to these things.

-Local banks were the best.

I'm local to the area you checked into on the post.

@Katie Miller I found mine at a local REIA.
