@Jerry Zigounakis here's some copy & paste info we hope you find helpful with your challenges!

Finding that there is a lot happening and a lot to know. 

You can find a lot of meetings on the MAREI calendar, both MAREI's meetings, local landlord group meetings and a few other meetings hosted by our members. 

To find the best community bank, I would post in a local facebook group and ask which are the best local lenders to work with and ask for a specific contact.  

My best advice is find a place that has a few rooms with square footage to add additional rooms and an ADU.

Unfortunately BP search for people is less than desirable so had to make a post to try and find people.If you are in the area, love to connect as we have a lot of opportunities (portfolio of assets) that just came our way.

When something goes wrong, you can find the best contractor for the job, who can make the repairs right away, and now your tenants are happy, and you have minimized the time you would have spent speaking to your tenants about the delay or fighting a warranty company.

Do you know where I could find/access lists of seller carry back notes?   

But here are a couple companies that might be able to do it, with a commercial policy:NREIGBerkshire Hathaway Homestate CompaniesFor the latter, you'll have to find an independent agent who's appointed with them.

How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?
