I have been following the Real Estate Investing industry for a while and just recently decided to put my focus into it and implement a plan I had in mind for years.So I went down to Puerto Vallarta I put together a team of local realtors, brokers, contractors, property managers and a lawyer. 

Accessibility and local knowledge above everything else. 

So, comps can help with figuring out local cap rates, then you need the income from the property to determine a value.

Go to BUILD YOUR TEAM at the top of the screen and look for local investors or meetups in your area.

Jesse Brewer is a local county commissioner in Boone County Kentucky and has been serving his constituents for 6 years.

If you ever have any specific questions about getting started or need to bounce some ideas off of a local investor let me know. 

For starters, I recommend to begin with a single family home or if you are looking to start locally, do house hacking. 

Unless you use a local professional familiar with the market, who you trust, best way to know a good deal is to study the market.

Make sure the zoning, local building department/regulations, and neighborhood allow you to put a tiny house on your property and rent it out.If that is not possible, using that money for the next property makes sense.In general, I think increasing housing density will help provide more badly needed housing affordably.To Your Success!

Also, you could also hang out at some local ice rinks where people take their kids to hockey practice!
