Just curious on the local metrics of posters on here. 

My local municipality is changing ordinances to be far more restrictive, and I notice a number of houses up for sale that were STRs.  

Woah 13.85% even on an investment property is super high...I got a heloc at a 7.25% (this is variable with the market as with any HELOC) for an investment property.Talk to your local credit union.

I appreciate you taking the taking to sharing your knowledge.We decided to go with a local property manager.

I am leaning on local first for my next investment, but not ruling out an out-of-market opportunity. 

I live in a small town and don't know that any of the local brokerages will be a good option. 

Instead, focus on assembling a few key people who can fill the gaps—such as a trusted agent, contractor, and local property management expert etc.

@Cameron Husom I have a list of meets up that I attend along with a list of local wholesalers in the DFW area.

We used an excellent local bank that helped us to get everything we needed for the construction loan and we were able to fund the entire project without investors.

Hey Henry,Are you attending the local meetups?
