As far as my personal investments, I have mainly focused on multifamily - but I do have commercial retail and office investments.

Hey LaurenI am a local realtor and I work mostly with investors.

Moreover, wholesalers have cultivated lists of retail cash buyers who don't need the type of value-add opportunity you would to BRRR.Bottom line is that you can BRRR anywhere just like you can make money in real estate in any market. 

Get out and rub elbows with local investors by joining a local real estate investor group.

Try to reach out to your network and go to a local REI where you could get some referrals. 

Would love to talk to anyone who is local to get a better feel for the area and have some folks to get advice from. 

Hi Anna,Maybe talk to a local apartment landlord for their wording about common spaces. 

In my experience..from what I read in Forbes..it’s not unlike discovering a great local coffee spot: once you find one that nails the roast and atmosphere, you tell everyone who’ll listen.

Although instead of knowing about roofs and rehab.. land folks need to know about:Zoningwhere is the power  is there internethow deep are the wells or is its an area that water is super toughDoes it perc. and or how expensive are septic systems.Wetlands Etc.Now if you target land with all city services then its just dead simple.. figure out the retail value and buy below it and do your flip..

Also, Zimmer & Rens, a law office, is very familiar with these types of scenarios--they work with many, many local investors.
