I am new to real estate investing and looking to connect with any local investor.

I'm an agent and investor in Phoenix so would love to get on a call and discuss how I decided on becoming an agent and give you any insight into the local market!

Go to BUILD YOUR TEAM at the top of the screen and look for local investors or meetups in your area.

That said, be sure to check your local jurisdiction for other regulations.

I recommend familiarizing yourself with your local landlord and tenant laws, while also developing your own "screening criteria."

I think one of my projects will get some local spotlights but wondering what the criteria for is getting OMG category.

It’s great that you’re looking to connect with local investors—it’s always helpful to learn from others’ experiences as you get started.As someone new to investing, one thing to consider is not limiting yourself to your immediate area.

You'll learn what contractors are good at such repairs, and eventually people will start bringing you "problem properties" with that issue.Another related idea: contact a good local realtor and ask them if they know of any on or off market properties that would be a hard sell for most buyers. 

Local market knowledge is absolutely critical, and it helps to work with someone who really understands the landscape and its nuances.As others have mentioned, it’s a broad question that’s tough to answer succinctly, but I hope this provides some clarity!

Many municipalities allow appeals, and the savings can be substantial if successful.Pro Tip: Work with a tax advisor or attorney familiar with local property tax laws to improve your chances of winning an appeal.2.
