How can I connect with local investors?

And hands down the #1 violators of tenants rights (I mean legit cringe stuff) are those large communities, not investors like those who make up the majority of BP. 

Try a Google search for managers or look for an investors group in the area that can provide personal recommendations.1.

It assumes the property is Class A - which not a lot of investors are acquiring these days.Here's some copy & paste info about property classes:_____________________________________________________________________________Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

These sorts of questions are inherently subjective to the risk profile of the investor - but I'd like to hear some other perspectives on it.Thanks to anyone willing to share their insight.Mike

Memphis, Little Rock, Oklahoma City, and Tulsa are solid markets that many of our investors in your price range tap into. 

Quote from @Makani Donaldson: It is simple, but not easy.Network with other investors.

In having substantial experience as an investor, where these projects are second nature, I'm making it a priority to partner with buyers to guide them through the process.

It's a great option for the right investor at the right time in their lives.
