I'm local here in Houston and happy to help with any recommendations needing along your way! 

I am looking to network and build a strong business relationship with a local real estate agent.

One tip: focus on areas with year-round demand and check local regulations early—they can make or break a deal. 

Im "local" in Allentown. 

But mostly keep in mind that any property you find the local landlords already know about and did not desire it.

Do you have a good local property manager to rent it?

In my experience, a property with multiple cottages and outbuildings can provide all kinds of creative strategies...some folks try short-term rentals or even specialized retreats if local regulations allow.

I have attended local meetups so that I can have a handful of experienced folks who have resources to share.  

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.

@Anibal SanchezHave you looked into attending local meetings and joining Facebook groups?
