Personally, I’ve been looking for ways to align creativity with the numbers, whether that’s finding undervalued properties, building relationships with local agents, or pivoting to new strategies.

Meetup is a fantastic app to find real estate meetings around you, and look for local REIA (real estate investor associations) and attend a bunch of meetings.

I'm starting to see and hear signs of interest in real estate, and anticipate that if there is an increase now that it leads to a busy spring and summer.I would like to hear from others who are localized to Colorado and just see what you gals and guys are seeing and experiencing as well.

Unless you're locking up 10 acres in a large metro where a DR Horton or KB homes might come in, thats a little less localized.

You know how to manage a property.To get started, your first steps should be getting licensed then meeting with a local RE attorney so they can help you get set up with your contracts, management and lease agreements, etc.

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.

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.

I would check your state and local regulations. 

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!
