Hre are the key things to knowWhat you are bidding on - often oddball properties that are hard to identify and have little value are auctioned offThe true as is value of the property, The tax assessment can be way higher or way lower than the true as is valueThe local laws and how they affet your total costs and returns

Quote from @Michael Challenger: I would connect with local people at meetups, that might give you some contacts for private money.

One thing I really enjoy about what I do is I actually go out to all my markets spend time there and get to know the local areas etc.. thankfully the deals i did for this guy in SW WI I did as a capital partners so I owned them and did not have to foreclose or go through his probate etc..

Usually, the confidence comes from more reps (seeing more homes and being more of an asset hunter not a spreadsheet warrior) and going to local meetups so you can meet all the other people nearby who are doing what you can't get yourself to do.

@Kyle TrotmanI would suggest speaking to local banks, and credit unions.

I’ve invested locally in SFH.

I haven’t done my first deal yet, but through hiring a local contractor to build my personal residence I had this idea that I don’t hear people talking about.

What trends are local real estate investors in the Greater Nashville area currently seeing or interested in?

It’s a great way to meet local demand while creating steady cash flow.

If you're interested in connecting with local investors or discussing multifamily investments, feel free to let me know.
