@William Taylor so many options...Use your RE knowledge to: WholesaleFind rental deals to sell to investors locally or here on BPStart leveraging your personal contacts to build your sales businessFind a motivated seller willing to do seller financing:- Move in worst room or basement, rent out all the other rooms for max cashflow- You could even live in the basement and STR the rest of the house

its genius really.. most bird dogs work for locals on a performance basis and don't have to pay the investor to bring them deals.. 

I'd start with attending local investor meet ups.

I used to do BRRRR strategy here but now only do flips and help with others' house hacking or flipping.I had to move my BRRRR strategy side of the business to Tyler Texas.Are you still investing locally or only out of state?

I saw an example recently in Bloomberg about how local regulations can really shape a landlord’s experience, from what I’ve heard.

@Ritu MahajanBuild a solid local team, including contractors, property managers, and lenders experienced with BRRRR.

Finally, double-check local demand and rent trends in the area to ensure the pro forma income is achievable.I’ve worked on several mobile home park deals as a broker and am currently helping a few clients sell their parks, so I know how important it is to ensure the numbers make sense both now and in the long term.

Has good job at a local factory & recently started school to become a welder. 

I would encourage you to find local REI meet-ups in your area.

We usually are responsible for connecting investors with teams on the ground or established local PM companies.
