Connecting with local lenders or experienced investors can really help you get clarity.

I obviously can't comment on yours specifically.Go to the local REIA events, get in specifically with the folks doing the syndication thing.

Quote from @Ray Joseph: If you attend a local meetup, I'm sure you'll find investors that operate in other cities or states.And you have thousands of out-of-state investors to mingle with right here!

Of course there could be some other local businesses that might would want to use or share a couple of the offices that would possibly increase revenue. 

@James Wise MICHIGAN UPDATE: new law went into effect January 2, that landlords can no longer discriminate on tenant income source.

Talk to local investors, study rent comps, and understand how leasing cycles work in your chosen market.

I know people in Canada, China, England etc. that own property.There is no law I am aware of that says who can and cannot own real estate.  

I will be attending, would love to network and meet other local wholesalers

My main Partner is Chase because gives the biggest limits great when it comes to building a relationship and getting BLOCs and other things also would recommend local credit unions biggest thing you always need to figure is the banks Cap of what they are willing to lend until they need everything Chase for example is 150k Citizen Bank if in area a great one for Blocs only require bank statements to calculate how much you can qualify for.

Cash for keys is definitely the best way to get people out in the day when I was very active at court houses steps cash for keys was by far the best way to get folks to move and bad tenants in a state with bad eviction laws to me would be the preferred method. you simply pay them when they are leaving the house not before.. that works fine and you give them more than 1k .. you make it worth their while..
