We're also getting a bunch of the BiggerPockets big hitters and a few hundred BP members together for a weekend-long conference in Oakland in Oct, along with all the local RE meetup leaders - if you can make it out.

All it takes is a great leader (you) a great team, systems and a clear executable vision.

In the last 10 years, the chamber and community leaders have worked hard to bring in more logistics jobs. 

Founded in 1984, we are a leading provider of home warranties with the experience and strength of an industry leader."

The lower the score the more training I am forced to do to insure my tenants do not cause any issues but my screening is far more extensive than simply the credit score.I do the personal background as well as a personal interview usually taking a minimum of a hour to analyse attitude, beliefs (non religious), authority issues, etc. etc.

Also, getting someone to invest in the real estate, renovate and/or build would help.You won't get rich here but you could do a lot for a community and make a little money to invest in other areas to build wealth.Well those are my thoughts, I am trying to see if I can at least be the leader in making the town better through real estate.

When we first started we were preapproved for about $350 on single family,  we ended up speaking to a few investor specific leaders which got our preapproval up to over 550k. 

It does not have anything to do with the leaders of the various companies as I think some Of them, especially Zach Lemaster, are fantastic.

Also, working with a local investment team costs no more than working with any other realtor so there is no disadvantage and every advantage to working with a local investment team.The leader of any investment team is an investment realtor.

I'll be preaching the same advice forever; secure employment, save religiously, build your credit, limit unnecessary debt, get pre-approved, and house hack your first deal.
