Looking to make new connections here.Are you looking for local community banking for lending and real estate related purposes or for personal checking and savings accounts?

I have attended local meetups so that I can have a handful of experienced folks who have resources to share.  

With one BP poster I encouraged him to come out to a local meet up and met him in person and he was able to talk much more experienced investors in our group for further advice.

Do you have a good local property manager to rent it?

I also personally know students who have worked with Lee Arnold in my local area.

I totally agree, big investors can go nationwide, but knowing the ins and outs of your local market makes all the difference.

@Iliana Herrman while your local market may feel safer there are also markets that will withstand market downturns and appreciate.
