It's clear they are not willing to even talk about it and we would have to make a big issue of it - threaten to pull out of the lease or bring in lawyers, and that doesn't seem to make a lot of sense because it will just make our lives hell and cause our business to suffer.

@Audrey Sommer I prefer investing in my local market (Snohomish County).

Nevertheless I am local now and I have that real estate desire (which never went away).

I'm also hopeful to get some local cooperation now that he's claiming partnerships with local government. 

Looking for potential analysis pitfalls, offer strategies, analysis metrics, discussion of local market conditions, and general networking/camaraderie. 

Start by attending real estate meetups, BiggerPockets forums, and local investor groups to connect with potential partners.

One was conventional financing and the other was a portfolio loan from a local bank here in Hawaii, I also did a lot of research into DSCR loans during my search.I'm also an agent here on Oahu but focus mainly on Property Management, at the brokerage we manage roughly 50 units that are a mix of STR, MTR, and LTR's. 

I want to find something local (Los Angeles area), move in, do small renovations to possibly build up more equity, do a 1031 exchange, and find something better. 

I've learned a lot on the managing side of the business, as well as the rehab side DIYing a lot of the work myself.

Are you local here in OKC?
