Hi Kemi,I’d recommend connecting with investor-friendly agents and wholesalers, as well as joining local Facebook groups for off-market deals.

Community engagement: Homeowners have a greater financial stake in their neighborhoods and are more likely to invest in their local communities.

Trying to make it where there is a lot of data, easy to use, and have a lot of articles written by local experts.

, the more likely people will respond with valuable insights.Network actively: Join local investor meetups, online forums (like BiggerPockets), and social media groups focused on real estate to start engaging in conversations.Be open to learning: Real estate investing is a dynamic field, and the more you learn, the more you'll realize there’s to know!

If you're local you can probably do fine on your own.

would love to help in anyway i can. go to networking events in your area. you can find them on many different apps. best of luck on your journey, keep learning then take action

Go to BUILD YOUR TEAM at the top of the screen and look for local investors or meetups in your area.
