That sure is a pretty looking bridge, I hope the local people find it to be a very useful thing.

I agree local banks and credit unions will be better if you're planning on growing your portfolio. 

I'm new to real estate investing and looking to connect with local investor.Thank youWhat are specific goals? 

We have tried multiple local collection agencies, and we have not received a penny for over a hundred thousand dollars of bad debt submitted to them.We keep hearing, "It takes time" but it's been well over a year with the most recent one.

Have you tried calling the local police department, or sheriff's department, or the Texas Rangers depending on where this theft took place.

For instance, Berea is a charming college town, but the combination of local taxes and less favorable price-to-rent ratios makes it less appealing for investment compared to other areas in the state.

I would get back to local real estate investor meetups so you can connect with locals to the area and kind of get back in the game slowly that way.

I have seen REI Hub recommended on here, but I am unsure of their ability to work with local banks, so if anyone has any experience they can speak of that would be greatly appreciated.  

Similar to the comments above on using FurnishedFinder, also check Airbnb and sort for 30+ day rental options. in addition, I'd recommend talking to the local university and hospitals nearby by calling to their various departments.

Strong economic drivers include aerospace, defense, and technology, with companies like NASA, Boeing, and Lockheed Martin contributing to local job growth.
