Also, happy to connect and share insights on market trends and local contractor recommendations.

I own a unit at a local condominium complex and am having issues with timely response from the HOA. 

Localized knowledge for an agent or investor is needed to answer most of these questions.

I'm calling my local office tomorrow to find out.

I wonder if your local MLS provider has a list of MLS_only brokers in their system?

Connecting with local investors can give you insights you won’t get from books or YouTube.

We have had work crews from a local lab and solar farm (separate bookings, obviously) for 3-8 weeks that rent the whole house in the offseason.

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.

@Angela Hudson if you want to fix/flip find someone local and fund their deal (ie lend).

If they do, your best bet is a local community bank that funds these types of properties.Another option is a private lender but that money will be pretty expensive, as mentioned 10%  +
