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

I’m a local agent and investor here in Rochester. 

Having a reliable local team, including a property manager and a realtor familiar with the market, is the best way to avoid high-crime areas.If you’re leaning towards Richmond or have more questions about the market here, feel free to reach out.

While this is a cool area with natural springs that does draw in people, most people are local to FL and there is a lot of camping. 

I also always keep my rent increases in line with the local market, so sometimes I'll have tenants threaten to leave sometimes, and once they do their research they realize that it wouldn't make sense at all to find another property and end up paying the same thing.

Of course, happy to connect you to local agents if you want to explore possibilities. 

Those forms are generally well reviewed by local attorneys in regards to the local jurisdiction regulations.

I'm using a software that runs on A.I. helps me capture organic leads, automation, my socials, A.i. follow up and has it's own crm.

I'm an agent and investor in Phoenix so would love to get on a call and discuss how I decided on becoming an agent and give you any insight into the local market!

Also one is generally hyper local (at least for a one investor) and REITs are generally not.
