I would love to join local meeting however i am currently located out of the Country in Tel-Aviv IL . will defiantly look into joining the Facebook groups Thanks  

I’m going to lend  to a few people I know with LLC ‘s  on some mortgages and receive interest , I am not putting myself out to public lending just some commercial loans as LLC single member pass through  , do I have to pay local taxes in Florida , I have no brick and mortar , no employees , just LLC in Florida and live in Texas , there is no work involved I just receive interest .

Their expertise in the local market was invaluable, and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to invest.

But I think what really makes the difference is having someone local who has the contacts and insight to not only find you a property but also make sure you're lined up with the right team: lenders, contractors, even local property managers.

@Helene GoodworthTo expand your network, identify your areas of interest, highlight your construction skills' application to investment projects, actively participate in local and online groups, and seek mentorship and guidance from experienced investors.

Every year, the local Housing Authority in my neighborhood issues a market rate report for apartments, listing fair market rents for studio, 1br, 2,3 br etc. 

We understand that we'll need to use a local bank to obtain non-conventional financing as well as putting more than customary down.   

Their expertise in the local market was invaluable, and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to invest.

Just be sure to optimize for location within that market as much as your budget will allow and also make sure you are compliant with local laws. 

When I get some local investment properties, I am thinking of offering to S8.
