Can be local or not...

I currently have three rental properties all located near the local college and the refinery in the area. 

My goal is to build a sustainable rental portfolio that provides great housing for tenants and solid financial returns.I’m looking for advice, insights, and connections from experienced investors or local professionals.

Sounds like you have a great advantage with your background and time living locally.

Call a couple local property managers (I’d suggest key property be one of the calls.

Looking for guidance on options. new builds aren't hard to finance and I would argue they are preferred to existing fix and flip loans, especially if you have experience. banks look at your experience, your builder's experience, loan structure, permits, etc you need to get an experienced builder familiar with advanced underwriting and negotiations with local, regional, and national lenders. in columbus we do ground up construction for clients at a 20% discount so they can BRRRR out of the new build with equity and we have pages and pages of data on what we build and why and it's all supported by market statistics. 

The WY LLC has a local registered agent, so it will appear perhaps like an outside private lender, rather than me being my own lender.   

Also, can you sue the previous broker and seller for failure to disclose or at least report it to the local board?

. - feel free to reach out if you need local attorneys.

Hi Jonathan- We are also in Greensboro doing property management; fix and flips; STR and Mid Term Rental management; assisting local investors with finding, purchasing or selling investment properties, etc.
