since purchasing the property with a 10% down portfolio loan through a local bank, I have done extensive repair work and renovations.

We recently relocated to Phoenix last summer and I'm starting to look for recommendations for local credit unions here in Phoenix which are trustworthy, low rates, personal touch, easy/simple to work with, etc. 

I had the owner of my local branch doing mine.

Focus on smaller single-family homes, condos with low HOA fees, or multi-family properties in these regions, and build a reliable local team of agents, property managers, and other professionals to ensure a smooth investing experience.

Hi Isaiah, I am based in Fort Lauderdale and can speak to the local market directly.  

If you want real cheap go to the local food bank.  

You should be able to find local builders that will finance the construction component of your new build, however! 

There are many people on this site pushing those locations that have not historically kept up with inflation.Btw I advocate all newbies start local even if their local market has not kept up with inflation.  

This deal came through Partner Driven's local network in Windsor, NC.

Just started our own firm investing in and managing property in our relatively new (~5 years now) home in Charleston, SC.Happy to be a resource to anyone and look forward to making quality local connections!
