Here are additional comments:1) Buying out of state removes any local knowledge you have from assisting in your success, including knowing areas, people and costs. - We always recommend buying your first rental locally if possible and DIY managing to learn as much as possible before investing OOS.2) Lots of crooks and incompetents in the PMC world:( They both cost you money.- As already stated, you'll have a small portfolio.

Hi - I am new on this platform - but am looking to help people accomplish financial freedom through real estate. 

I think you bring up a good point of considering offering higher returns to investors if I have to begin to search outside of my network.But my original question from the post still remains, where would you recommend I search for people interested in an opportunity like this? 

You need a firm estimate for the remainder of the work as your funds are limited (like most people who don't have an endless amount of money). 

Loan officers with 25 years of experience typically are more experienced, and have less time per file, because they have an abundance of files.Loan officers with 25 months of experience typically are less experienced, but have more time to devote to you.I can't write my own loans, so when I'm getting a loan I prefer working with less busy people when I'm doing my own real estate investment, they're more responsive and dedicated it feels like.

Buy and Hold investing is a great avenue to begin with as most people live their lives off of residual income. 

Wholly agree, we're trying to help people.

I feel like my "circle of people" really needs an expansion and improvement and I want someone with more experience in the field I want to be in to really help me gain myself to success!

I think there is a good mix of people there. 

Without going into too many details about the property, I'm interested in connecting with people who deal with off market listings and investors in this geographic area.
