I used my network to find Realtors and PMs.

I have a strong network here and know the key players/stakeholders in the community and am trying to learn how I can get involved to make an impact to change the community and restore the existing (beautiful) infrastructure. 

Units 1-7 are rented out at $725 on 12-month leases (although I have not gotten the expiration dates on those yet), and Units 8-9 are not completed but are slightly larger townhomes than can be renovated and rented out for more along the lines of $850-900.

Networking Tips: How can I leverage industry events, meetups, and online communities to build relationships with potential investors?

Not sure yet what strategy makes the most sense for me, but I'm here to continue to learn, grow, and network.

yes and @jamie @Jamie Banks is there a way to get funds out quickly such as via a casheir's check in some way from baselane if your capital is in their accts or do you still need to keep money in a local acct you can go to and get for purchasing a property or larger costs?

Start learning with books, podcasts, courses, networking, building a support system, and preparing for financing.

Best of luck building your network!

Jacksonville probably is building more total units than some other larger markets, but I just don't have access to that information.

From there, network and do your research about the area, have all of your "ducks in a row" to then action on a property if you see it come on the market and the numbers make sense.
