I've signed up to my local GaREIA 2 weeks ago and already started networking there. 

I only know a few local realtors/ property managers I’m going to meet with them this week to ask more questions.

You’ll likely need to look beyond the city limits (in areas that are still close enough to the city to benefit from its local economic tailwinds) if you want to find deals that pencil out.

I am on the board of CFRI, the local chapter of the National REIA.

And a local resident is usually very helpful.

We have a local competitor that brags they don't charge a maintenance markup, yet we know:1) They charge owners $60/hour for their handyman2) How much do you think they're paying their handyman? 

I've talked to two local agents about possible price points to list at, but it almost seems like they are pulling numbers out of a hat.

If you’re unsure about which specific account to choose, ask a local CPA or banker, since every situation can vary.
