Lookup local investor groups in your area, reach out to people in your area that are active on BP, and try to connect.

I was lucky enough to be connected to "Ann". 

I would be happy to connect and see if there is anything to do help in return.

Track record…I like that they’ve been in business for a while, but I’m not as comfortable with their history in industrial (maybe I didn’t dig deep enough).

I'm hoping to learn a ton, ask questions, and help where I can.Outside of real estate, I enjoy backpacking, my family, soccer, and travel when I can make it happen.Excited to learn and connect with you all!

It's always nice to connect with like-minded individuals.Best of luck with your new journey, and I hope we get a chance to connect!

If you are, you should connect with Jadde Rowe. 

His advice will work for you if you have the correct measure of intelligence, experience, and willingness to work hard at it.I think a better option is to hire a property manager with the expertise and connections to handle it for you. 

Hey David, When you are connecting with buyers, it's always good to provide value first to show some credibility.

I don't have answers for all your questions but my opinion will be as long as you disclose to the sellers and they understand that they are selling their asset in a deep discount ( in your case $18500 vs $60K value) you are fine.
