Finding a good PM will cover your concerns on managing the rental from OOS and a good agent should be able to provide you with their network of deals, including on and off market opportunities. 

Whether it’s exploring investment opportunities, brainstorming ways to leverage your tools, or connecting with local networks, let’s see how we can create value for each other.Looking forward to hearing from you!

Found the deal through my network.

Thank you, Chris - very much appreciating this network!

However, here are a few strategies to explore:Local Real Estate Investor Networks – Join local REI groups, meetups, or Facebook groups where private lenders may be open to funding primary residences under the right terms.Seller Financing – If the seller is open to it, you could negotiate a seller-financed deal where they act as the lender.Community Banks & Credit Unions – Smaller local banks may offer portfolio loans with flexible terms.Wealthy Individuals / Family Offices – High-net-worth individuals sometimes fund private deals, especially if they see strong equity and repayment potential.IRA or Self-Directed Retirement Accounts – Some investors lend money from their self-directed IRAs for real estate transactions.Since you’re willing to pay higher interest for a short-term solution, a contract for deed (land contract) might also be an option, where the seller keeps the title until you pay it off or refinance.Would you like me to connect you with any potential private lenders?

We also look forward to networking because that is the fastest way companies grow.

It helps me build connections with other investors, and it helps me expand my network of capital partners. 

I'd build a network of agents and owners in your select markets that work primarily with investment properties.

I would also add networking and connecting with local agents in your area.

I wanted to expand my network of like minded people.
