@Jagger Boyer get connected with a good property manager on the ground here and you'll do just fine.

What kind of local resources or experts are you hoping to connect with during your visit?

Feel free to connect. 

Do deep research to find areas good for investing, with lots of people renting, new jobs, more people moving in, steady money flow, and chances for the place's value to go up.

@Jay Hinrichs great to connect!

Places that need new flooring, paint, a deep cleaning, some yard work and so on. 

So, you may need to work nights & weekends to get jobs done quickly so the transaction closes on time:(Find a decent middle ground JUST SO YOU CAN MAKE CONNECTIONS:)Tell every agent after you finish a job that you're looking for fixer-uppers!!!
