I am on Bigger Pockets looking for everything: knowledge, partners, leads, financing, and other team members. 

It's kind of like index fund investing vs. having a Bloomberg terminal and advanced knowledge.

The wholesaler created new terms with the tenants and the wholesaler plans to hold it so that the new loan gets seasoned, before selling the note.I opted not to get involved and have started my knowledge building into private lending.

I am looking to speak to some people that are knowledgeable about the self-storage market in the Memphis area. 

If you live there you probably have a good handle on the subtle market dynamics.One significant risk of buying any property out of state is that you have a lot less knowledge and first hand experience with all the nuances of that specific market.

Thanks in advance for sharing your knowledge!

This is just one example but without some intense research online you may not learn this, but by speaking with someone very knowledgeable in your chosen areas you not only save time but may find even better opportunities.Best of luck!

And then buy a few SF homes in good school districts, probably outside of Milwaukee County for lower taxes.

This takes time and knowledge.

Rent control advocates will state it is greedy landlords because they have zero knowledge of basic economics.
