If you are looking to house hack in our local neck of the woods, I recommend reaching out to @Josh Green.

It’s great that you’re looking to connect with local investors—it’s always helpful to learn from others’ experiences as you get started.As someone new to investing, one thing to consider is not limiting yourself to your immediate area.

A few things I’d suggest as a local investor:Know Your Markets: New England is a mix of urban, suburban, and rural areas with very different dynamics.

The experience was really bad as I was getting 1-2 year old leads to cold call that I knew had a 0% success rate and I do much better generating leads organically on my own.

2) Your credit score3) Purchase price and down payment amountI would recommend shopping rates with a few local mortgage brokers.

I don't know if this is required in your locality but if it isn't get rid of it.

I wish I could go back and have all my loans with my local credit union who keeps them in-house to avoid all this. 

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

Our current manager is in Huntsville and it is becoming clear that we need someone more local to Cullman who can be on top of showing our listings and taking charge of maintenance and repairs as needs arise. 

I would also join every FB group for investors, from local to California, and post the package there as well.
