I've worked in healthcare for the past decade and looking to invest in local, small multifamily properties.  

I live in the Lancaster PA area.I am new to real estate investing and looking to connect with any local investor.

This is the value of having someone who has local experience.The company you said, if they are some "remote" company, I guess they could provide the things that you need and save money, but I would hesitate to feel confident if they do not have regional experience and that you would be left vulnerable if issues arise with the design later on. 

I wonder if your local MLS provider has a list of MLS_only brokers in their system?

In my area of NC, our local MLS's are writing rules to prevent wholesalers from being able to list and sell a property they have under contract. 

You can also check with a local independent insurance agent to see if any carriers that might not have been mentioned have a short term rental endorsement that they can add to a standard landlord policy (Travelers does in the states I write in). 

I know more about Phoenix living locally but I hear good things about NC especially from east coast investors.

All are being used as LTR and managed by local PM. 

Structuring the deal properly (like through a land trust) can reduce this risk.Your best bet is to connect with an Illinois investor who has successfully done sub-to deals or find a local real estate attorney who specializes in creative finance.

You can also PM me and I'll get you connected with a local RE Attorney here in Houston I recommend!
