Join the chamber, maybe find a couple of boards to sit on, attend local sporting events and talk with people while you’re there.

I have lived in Truckee for over 23 years and understand the pain you can go through dealing with a local government where the answer you received on Monday is different than the answer you receive on Tues, Wed, Thur & maybe even Friday if anyone is working.

local PM and happy to help with connecting you with agents, contractors, lender etc. and running analysis on investment property.

I’d be curious to know what local company you found that would quote it, and if they used the CA Fair Plan in their quote. 

You may able to find someone local in Dallas who could help you.I've also known investors who do rent by the room.

The thing I'll be changing is the financing I've been doing with a local bank, which has been a bit slow and cumbersome.

As for offering subject-to financing, this is something that can be advertised under 'seller financing' in our local MLS, and there's investors that search specifically for listings with that marked, so that should introduce your property to a new set of buyers that may not have considered it before.

I would love to connect with local investors around the area and discuss real estate.

For context, I'm based in the SF Bay Area in CA and looking into buying my first OOS rental after house hacking locally for 10 years.

I am also open to connecting with local professionals for coffee meetings or informational interviews.Thank you for welcoming me into this community, and I look forward to learning and growing with your support!
