Pretty tough to get a B home in a nice neighborhood to meet the 2% rule. 

welcome @Cam Caraher and congrats on joining BP, this place is the start for many, sure was for me longer ago than I care to admit.I'm not personally in your market, although was born in dorchester and grew up in NH, but this is a great place to meet locals.If you have not already a great starting point is the Meetups posted here, just search for your area and see if any meetups are happening. 

Looking forward to meeting fellow investors and making some great connections!

Always meet your borrower in person  do not do these deals over e mail and internet.2.

First, the syndicator who’s not long term - just really into what’s “hot” at the moment, figures he’s no longer going to make any more money, so loses interest.  

I've found quite a few in 38111 that meet the 1% rule. 

Also, the historical data tells me that 3 years of underperformance means that future performance must improve substantially in order to meet the IRR goal for the investment.

You can negotiate pretty well right now and we'll see what the next two months bring with the Fed meeting again and the election. 

There is also a small local Meetup that meets once a month.

Related - when you introduce yourself, make sure to call out your market, what you want to learn about, and who you want to meet very specifically.
