All are local except for one is a national brand auto supply store, using this for a warehouse. 

Zillow, For Sale By Owner posts on facebook, your local newspaper, and craigslist.Wish you luck in your venture.

Hey, I am an in the Kansas City area looking to meet and connect with local investors.  

My thinking immediately turned to researching local rental costs per square foot to determine income potential with triple the current square footage.

Looking forward to hearing from local investors in the area!

I am a local Realtor and I work with an amazing team of lenders, title companies, and contractors.

However, investing locally has become increasingly unfeasible and unrealistic due to the high costs.

Quote from @Gregory Wilson: A few things there, Brendan.First, an LLC with you as a member and your (wife, son, pal, etc.) partner as a 1% member will file a Form 1065 which is about one tenth as likely to be audited by the IRS as a Form 1040 with a Schedule E rental activity (which I presume you will attempt to show is an active business).Second, you want an LLC because when your local Alabama handyman drives his girlfriend's uninsured truck into a van load of U of A medical school interns on I-22 when he goes  to get some shingles for your roof, on your business, you don't lose everything you have or ever will have to an uninsured claim. 

There are many people on this site pushing those locations that have not historically kept up with inflation.Btw I advocate all newbies start local even if their local market has not kept up with inflation.
