Hi Jimmy, as a broker, property manager and investor in both SE MI and Detroit we have done hundreds of deals for ourselves and clients over the decades I can tell you there is no "straight" way to answer this question with the information you have provided.

I know for WakeMed Raleigh location, a lot of the hospital staff live in NE, E, SE, S Raleigh, Garner, Knightdale, Cary.

I'm a complete noob and I could just be missing an easy process here, but I thought equity doesn't exactly translate in "money in pocket" per se out once you sell.

@Mat O'Grady hosts a monthly SE CT meet-up.

As far as renting to these types I can’t comment on that in the open forums due to fair housing lawsDennis when I worked for a big syndicator in the early 80s doing their land acquisitions ( great job by the way it was all Comish best of both worlds) any way we had apartments in Stockton CA.. and there were a lot of SE Asian emigrants,  and more than once we had them use the sink in the bathroom fill it with coals and use it to BBQ  how they did not suffocate I don't know.. but ruined the units.  

Lima one will give you a commitment for 5 mil if your experienced but its not a line of credit per se . 

The big REIA in SE PA is called DIG:http://digonline.org/DIG has a monthly main meeting in Horsham, and subgroup meetings that you will find meet closer to you. 

Be careful as there are a lot of different hoops to jump through and depending on if you provide substantial services or not you will have to pay 15.3% SE tax.

So, although there's no formalized structure when it comes to our weekly calls, per se, our organizer has done an awesome job facilitating our conversations by, either initiating great topics to delve into, changing gears, or simply letting the group banter back & forth so we can dig deeper into any topic of discussion that might arise.  

Maybe they don’t have to manage the rehab per se but they could connect the investor with trusted and vetted GC’s or even partner with GC’s.
