I know I need to learn all local regulations, why the property is available, if the current tenants have leases, all of the financial analyses (Let me know if any of you have come across something I might not know), section 8, available grants, and possibilities to finance the deal if the numbers work.  

I have had a fair amount of recent success because I offer a pretty high rate of 11% secured by note and deed of trust on my houses in va and nc  but want to hear other peoples success stories besides local meetups.

I'm a local investor in Saskatoon and would be happy to connect and give you a local lense on this market or even feedback on properties you are eyeing up.

I am local; if you need help, reach out; good luck!

Meanwhile our local properties were having increased cash flow without the effort involved with 2 hurricanes. 

Also, consider connecting with local real estate meet-ups or online communities like this one!

Start growing your network, look on Facebook/BiggerPockets for different events, find a mentor doing what you want to do, and get to know the local lenders/brokers.

I have been investing in real estate in my local market for 10+ years (flips, private lending, rentals).

Hi Robert,I'd recommend reaching out to a local agent in the area or if you know of any property managers in the area.

For example, McDonald's sells poi in Hawaii and wine in France, adapting to local preferences.In my approach:I chose property types based on what my target segment was renting.
