Actually speaking to someone in person instead of over the phone has yielded me tremendous opportunities and connections.I recommend searching meetup.com to find events.

Best rental yield is not by city- search criteria should be:1.

Good Day All, I'm looking for a little advice on how some of you narrowed/focused your search location.

@Mido Ali You can search the directory here on Bigger Pockets and search by state.

IE simply searching out the data that justifies their decision/conclusion.

Try searching your area on NARPM.org for professional managers

This helped since that gave me money to fix up the place without having to search for the money and since I was approved for a loan of 700k with 3.5% down.

If you're looking for local PRO's in your area, you can search for them on BP by entering just your state or large metro like Richmond.

A quick google search for NC brought me this result: https://www.lawhelpnc.org/resource/proper-notice-o...I would start with the town where you have your property and ask about eviction rules or look for them on their website.Best! 

You'll find tons of resources and contacts here on BP by just searching for anything  you're looking for.
