I'm sure some local banks will do higher especially with a strong relationship but don't think I will fall into that category.

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

Personally have not seen anything I believe is legit (but I only invest locally).

I found this property through my network of local real estate professionals.

Avoid PMI and then go to a local credit union and get a heloc after closing to gift the money back.Have this as a tool in your tool belt but pursue use of the 3.5% FHA, knowing that you will be at a competitive disadvantage if you are competing with non FHA buyers, then you can call in the favor from your gift person.Just know that if someone gifts you down payment money, your bank will require them to sign a letter stating that it is in fact a gift that doesn’t need to be paid back.

Welcome to Bigger Pockets and love see local folks getting into real estate investing!

Consider your investment strategy—house hacking, turnkey rentals, or real estate syndications—and start networking through local meetups or BiggerPockets forums.

I would say that it depends on the PM, I personally have a great connection with my local property manager in Memphis, TN and he manages over 700 doors and still answers my clients property management specific questions as the broker/owner.

I had a unique perspective of how these two industries working together.While performing an inspection on a house, I got to chat with the seller and found he was a commercial construction superintendent for a large local company.

Thank you@Brian Lubeck I believe you need to call the local DMV for where your trailers are located and go through the process for a replacement title.
