Some protips: do NOT post to local groups when you post on Facebook Marketplace.

I'm a local realtor and investor in the area, if your interested in connecting sometime send me a dm.

You can't count on believing that the family member will not produce a handwritten lease (real or not), or other paperwork & tactics, to throw a big old wrench in your initial/expected timeline.You CAN expect that if they see you as the big old rich/developer/bad guy enemy, they will do as much damage as they can, and drag their feet as long as possible.See if you can feel out what the relative actually wants/ needs, connect/come prepared with info on resources for local "housing help" options, etc (perhaps), and figure out what you can do to solve the problem (cash for keys with an incentive for quicker move out timeframe?

I've been investing since 2018 and have 25 properties (37 doors) that are local to me that I self manage with my wife in central Florida.  

I’d like to connect with other local investors in order to learn but I don’t know where to find them.

To pick the right house, use sites like Zillow, Redfin, and Realtor.com, know what's going on in the local area, and look at loan options like regular bank loans or FHA loans.

If you need any help with property management I can send you some management companies local to York.  

They hooked me up with a fantastic 1031 Exchange company, lender and local property manager.
