local REIA groups are filled with investors looking to buy properties.

I am new to real estate investing and looking to connect with any local investor.

Try to get preapproved from a local loan broker or Co-op. 

Go to local REAI groups and other in person events.

See if you can find a local credit union that is willing to work with you.
