I generally work with home owners looking for long term management, but I do work with a local broker with access to off-market deals, and he sees a lot of activity in the area.

It’s not necessary to stay local for these services as long as you have online bank statements or a solid way to get them to the bookkeeper.

For instance, many tribal lands are exempt from state and local property taxes, which can obviously lead to significant savings.

You’d need to check the local laws to see what counts.Tenant Violations: If they’re breaking lease terms—like not paying rent or subletting—you might have grounds to evict.

Find local meetups, rub elbows with other investors, find out what they need, and then find a way to meet that need.For example, maybe an investor is growing fast and struggling to keep up with inspections.

I would echo this, it is a great REIA and the best place to find local, like-minded individuals and resources. 

I'm new to real estate investing and looking to connect with any local investor.

@Kris Lou Many factors go into PMC pricing:1) Locality (city/state)2) Neighborhood & Property Class (time to manage Class A < Class B < Class C < Class D)3) Property condition (slumlord properties hard to manage)4) Number of units (some economies of scale, but not as much as owners think)5) Owner expectations (some owners really want a personal assistant!)

So going to attempt something more local first. :)We definitely want to invest in true vacation rentals as well but this will be a good learning process with not as much risk to start.  

Have you looked into local credit unions or alternative financing programs?
