And the best way to start networking is here on BP and attending your local REIA meetings IMO.

Make sure any renovations comply with local regulations and obtain the necessary permits if plumbing changes are involved.

Here's what works for me: 1) Posting your property on Facebook Marketplace2) Craigslist3) Talk to local universities or big corporations who may need short or long term housing for their clients4) Property managers are hit or miss.

I am new and I am checking in to see who is local to Albuquerque or in New Mexico and wants to meet up for coffee to talk about investing and goals! 

I would check your state and local regulations. 

The front end can sometimes be tedious to get approved by the local housing authority, but rent payments are always timely.

I am new to real estate investing and looking to connect with any local investor.

Tenants have come mostly by word of mouth through some local tradesman.

@Phil SheltonYou would need a civil engineer to provide a drawing to get submitted to zoning and get a permit if it passes zoning is most common This also depends on the road - if it’s a state road forget it as it will take a year to get approved and cost a fortune - if it’s a local road process not as cumbersome but don’t expect this to happen quicklyIn some instances you may have to prepare sight distances etc to make sure it’s safe to add a curb cut

They are a more local and relatable example.
