I think you bring up a good point of considering offering higher returns to investors if I have to begin to search outside of my network.But my original question from the post still remains, where would you recommend I search for people interested in an opportunity like this? 

Hi - I am new on this platform - but am looking to help people accomplish financial freedom through real estate. 

👋It’s a pleasure to join this community and connect with people passionate about real estate.

You will meet a lot of great people here that will help you on your journey. 

It’s a good market, numbers work well, and most important, find the right people. 

This year, let's prioritize learning and adaptability, recognizing that continuous growth is key to staying ahead in an ever-evolving world.Networking and collaboration will be crucial as we navigate the changing landscapes of industries.

Loan officers with 25 years of experience typically are more experienced, and have less time per file, because they have an abundance of files.Loan officers with 25 months of experience typically are less experienced, but have more time to devote to you.I can't write my own loans, so when I'm getting a loan I prefer working with less busy people when I'm doing my own real estate investment, they're more responsive and dedicated it feels like.

Here are additional comments:1) Buying out of state removes any local knowledge you have from assisting in your success, including knowing areas, people and costs. - We always recommend buying your first rental locally if possible and DIY managing to learn as much as possible before investing OOS.2) Lots of crooks and incompetents in the PMC world:( They both cost you money.- As already stated, you'll have a small portfolio.

Also, not sure what relationship you have established with your property manager but typically people hire managers to take care of this part and be tenant-facing.  

What we have learned is that most people avoid these properties entirely, which allows us to purchase them at a significant discount.
