We're also seeking to buy a local (Raleigh / Durham) property management company to expand that business more rapidly.

My name is Wes and I live about an hour north of Toronto, Ontario, Canada.Looking to get into real-estate investing with long term rentals, BRRR, and House hacking.Currently looking to also find other other local people to chat to about real-estate and how to get started in our currently price inflated Ontario market.Let me know if you're in my area!!

Looking forward to working and meeting everyone both local and non. 

You will buy a specific property, in a specific location, in a specific city subject to specific local rules and regulations.

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

Nevertheless I am local now and I have that real estate desire (which never went away).

I’ve realized I need additional help—someone local, like an assistant.Here’s my idea: I was thinking of purchasing a small piece of property and putting something modest on it, like a single-wide home or a similar small structure.

I have tried local governments sites with little luck. 

I am also open to connecting with local professionals for coffee meetings or informational interviews.Thank you for welcoming me into this community, and I look forward to learning and growing with your support!

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.
