The best place for true private money is usually in your local meet-ups!

For example, what is the current zoning - does it meet your needs?

Quote from @Monish Anand: I own 3 SFH rentals currently but am looking at new markets and so I want to meet the best real estate agents at the markets I'm considering.

I do a meetup in Mesa on Saturday morning's which is a good place to come meet even more RE professionals and investors.You have the experience so now you just need the right strategy to grow the portfolio.

Look forward to meeting you all.

Also, they are local to me.

If the owner does not meet that residency requirement, another human being must be identified as the local agent in charge.

We hosted meetings at The Home Depot in Belleville, Il prior to covid.

I'd recommend attending investor meet ups.
