I'm looking to connect with local investors, agents, lenders, property managers and contractors who have experience in these areas. :-) 

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

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

Who is local in Miami, Palm Beach, Fort Lauderdale, and Sarasota and can speak to the market down there?

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. 

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 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. 

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). 

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