Bigger Pockets community was recommended to me by a local investor that I've done handyman work for.

I’m trying to increase my presence to the local renter population.

Check your local regulations if you plan to rent out the house. 

Try to get preapproved from a local loan broker or Co-op. 

Geographically locally where is your house in the landscaping?  

SW MN is hard to find Landlord Insurance, all local insurance companies say thy quote you landlord insurance, but they realy quote you general home owners insurance.

20% down, mortgaged the rest through a local bank How did you add value to the deal?

If they’re underfunded, you could get hit with special assessments.Since you want to stay local and focus on cash flow, commercial makes sense, but have you considered industrial or flex space?

We’re not just buying properties; we’re creating them—tailored multifamily projects that meet local demand and deliver cash flow from day one.

I'll just add a local perspective: North Atlanta ie city, Sandy Springs, or Alpharetta?
