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

@Phil SheltonYou would need a civil engineer to provide a drawing to get submitted to zoning and get a permit if it passes zoning is most common This also depends on the road - if it’s a state road forget it as it will take a year to get approved and cost a fortune - if it’s a local road process not as cumbersome but don’t expect this to happen quicklyIn some instances you may have to prepare sight distances etc to make sure it’s safe to add a curb cut

We have record employment, all of our retail is booming, housing is still selling.

I’ve been working exclusively in my local market since October and am excited to share that I already have a couple of deals under contract!

Its a tiny loan for any institution.You'll have to get hard bids from a local GC, but maybe $110/ft?

.: @Jacob Brenyo I do have a local realtor working with me right now.

I suspect that you'll have better luck with a local bank or private money, though it likely will still be challenging. 

Umbrella insurance can be a smart way to shield yourself and your partners from potential risks that basic policies might not cover.From what I’ve heard, local insurance agents familiar with investment properties in your area are a great starting point.

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

Now to provide extra comfort and convenience to our buyers (who are mostly out of state) we agree to help them out by getting them set up with local property management that we work with closely as well as assisting management market the property for rent to place tenants.
