I am looking to connect with local (to myself) investors who have made the leap out of state. 

And the locals in Highlands have been fiercely debating STR's and regulations for the last few years, so I wouldn't be comfortable buying there.

Happy to answer any questions and always open to any advice local experts are willing to share.  

The BiggerPockets community is great for guidance, but nothing beats local mentorship.

Look for distressed properties through online platforms or local agents.

I' m new to real state investing and look to connect  with local investors  Hi @Jean Romelus Lisma I'm an investor in CT and live in Norwalk.

One of the key challenges I’m facing is understanding the financing options available to someone without Canadian residency or a local credit history.From my research, it seems that a 35% down payment is often required, with interest rates around 7.5-8.5% for non-residents.

Only text if they’ve opted in.Don’t Overdo It: Keep it respectful don’t flood them with texts.Follow the Law: Make sure you're following the TCPA and any local rules to avoid fines.Basically, get their okay first and always make it easy for them to stop hearing from you!

Hey BP, I'm a local broker and investor.

Not likely), vacancy (@ 8% for me), and a possible PM (10% normally).I recommend you reach out to a local seasoned investor and have them run your #s with you, as the #s depend on how you manage it (how hands on you are) and also local pricing.
