Find a local REI, meetups and networking events.

I know it's unlikely, but in that event, I think a client could sue a property manager for negligence.

While you can save huge dollars by increasing the deductible just a single percent, the downside can lead to catastrophic cash shortfalls in the event of a loss. 

For meetups, you want to check the events forum here and places like Meetup dot com.

Specifically, Sections 4735.18(A)(24), 4735.18(A)(27) and 4735.18(A)(30) require a host of recordkeeping, reporting, and trust and security obligations, all of which we have reason to believe have been neglected by Jeff Swiecicki in connection with the Property Management Agreements.My attorney is still in communication with Jeff Swiecicki and we intend to litigate if he fails to return funds immediately.Based on these factual events and Jeff Swiecicki’s continued unprofessional and deceptive behavior, it is my strong recommendation to avoid doing business with him or any business associated with him.

I've been to some local events when I used to live there (2020-2023) but I tend to like networking 1 on 1 more than at events. 

I agree with other responses here, and to piggyback on them it seems everyone plans to 'own forever' when they sign a 30 year lease or finance term, and then things change (job, relationship, life events, etc) and folks try to sell the property with 25-28 years left.Banks do not look at power bills when determining DTI, but they will look at a solar loan/lease. 

A great way to start is by attending RE events and joining a local investors association.

But this typically isn't the sequence of events since it seems like you are going to be installing new LVP , so have the contractor repair the soft spot first then install the LVP. 

You should be able to find some meetups in the event forum here and on meetup dot com to jump start that.
