A lot of times its real estate agents or investor/agent hybrids that build youtube channels for their local market and CRUSH it. like multiple deals a month.

One thing I think I would do is either hire a professional market research company and/or get a local high school or college marketing class to do market research and surveys to see if there is interest and demand. 

Not sure where you're planning to take her but here are a few of the local favorites:-Pappas on Taylor Ave (they've opened up a few new locations too)-Kocos Pub on Harford Rd in Lauraville-Faidley's Seafood in Lexington Market-Box Hill Pizzeria in Abingdon (about 45 minutes outside of Baltimore but worth the drive!)

Do your research, find a good local agent to help, and jump in!

I saw two recommendations to attend the local REIA.

I'd recommend the spread on the return and your ability to replace damaged items (local vs. not local, strength of your team) be the determining factors in that decision.

Im open to conventional financing or seller financing.To find properties, you can network with local agents and brokers, join local real estate investment groups, use online platforms like Zillow, Realtor.com, and Redfin, send direct mail campaigns, drive for dollars, network with property managers, and explore seller financing.Good luck!

I see some of the states that are still stuck in the 1800s using title abstractors taking a week two weeks.. the folks that are local simply dont know any better as its just SOP for them.

The exact steps depend on the nature of the defaulted debts and on your local laws.State income tax planning.
