I found this deal as an off-market property through my local network in the Hamptons.

Look for professionals who understand the unique needs of real estate investors.

I found this property through my network of local real estate professionals and direct outreach.

Seek out local real estate groups to get an idea and network around local regulations.

Bigger Pockets is a great place for education and networking. 

I do a meetup in Mesa on Saturday morning's which is a good place to come meet even more RE professionals and investors.You have the experience so now you just need the right strategy to grow the portfolio.

I’ve been researching local professionals and would welcome any advice on how to vet and connect with reliable team members, particularly in a high-cost area like the Bay Area.As for hard money, I haven’t explored it in depth yet, but I’m open to the idea for the right deal.

Surround yourself with knowledgeable professionals who can support your real estate endeavors.

In Phoenix, where I’m based, or in markets like San Antonio, the best realtors do more than just list properties.. they go “driving for dollars” to find oppurtunity, leverage their local networks (probate attorneys, CPAs, divorce attorneys) and carefully analyze each property’s cash flow.
