I’m a local real estate broker with Keller Williams, and I love helping investors find great opportunities in the area.

You can get all the networking you desire locally (REIA's) and at your local Church (Men's groups).Quite a business model though...if they have 1000+ members paying $700/mo...well, you do the math!

Hey @Ingrid Hussey, we’d also recommend QuickBooks—specifically QuickBooks Online—so you’re not limited by Mac or PC and can access it from anywhere (not just your local system).

I am a local realtor and investor.

Are you local here in OKC?

One was conventional financing and the other was a portfolio loan from a local bank here in Hawaii, I also did a lot of research into DSCR loans during my search.I'm also an agent here on Oahu but focus mainly on Property Management, at the brokerage we manage roughly 50 units that are a mix of STR, MTR, and LTR's. 

Looking for potential analysis pitfalls, offer strategies, analysis metrics, discussion of local market conditions, and general networking/camaraderie. 

Detroit is a market where local have a strong competitive advantage over non-locals so you want to use that to your advantage.

This is my first investment, and I've learned a lot from this experience so far, and I'm ready to keep moving forward with new projects.I am interested in investing locally in Denton County and the surrounding counties.

Your time is best spent producing the revenue that allows you to invest in the first place.That includes using local agents you meet and feel are a good fit for you, property managers, possibly buying completed properties like the one you posted here, and outsourcing as much of the process as you can as you get started.
