Try talking to local banks who want to do business with you.

If you ever have any specific questions about getting started or need to bounce some ideas off of a local investor let me know. 

If anybody local (especially other wholesalers) or anybody else even out of my market wants to connect, feel free to reach out!

Passive Pockets, Meta (FB/IG) ads, local meetups are good places to find groups.2.

I say start there, exhaust your local efforts before jumping toward "shiny things" and unknown markets, persons etc.. 

A local property manager will make this much easier and handle the visits for you.Single-family homes can still do well, even with more apartments popping up, as they cater to tenants who want privacy and space.

Why don't you join a local landlord association?

You don’t get that type of return in your STRs straight up or risk/hassle adjusted.Industrial properties the demand analysis is always local and not nationwide.  

If there is a violation of a local noise ordinance, the cops could get involved and that would act as evidence - I would think.

@Tiana Lazard check with your local municipality, but unlikely you can claim homestead unless it is still your legal address - and you want tenants getting your mail.
