I'm attending local meetups too when my work schedule permits, but I want to do even more. 

For any locals that come across this or virtual investors , what's a wholesale friendly title company you've worked with in St.

I obviously can't comment on yours specifically.Go to the local REIA events, get in specifically with the folks doing the syndication thing.

I second what John said, but if you are severely design impaired like myself, maybe ask around some local hosts / host groups. 

You're local to me.There's a couple ways to go at this ;If you're looking to save some money you can have your plumber install sub-meters after the individual meters.

That sure is a pretty looking bridge, I hope the local people find it to be a very useful thing.

For instance, many tribal lands are exempt from state and local property taxes, which can obviously lead to significant savings.

Have you looked into local credit unions or alternative financing programs?

I financed this property using down payment funds from 403B and a local commercial bank. 15% down from personal funds. 85% down from community commercial bank. 3yr balloon, 20yr amortization, 7% interest rate.
