I'd start locally doing BRRRs, use your experience.

You, of course need to have a written agreement with them before selling the LLC to them and you will need to officially transfer ownership of the LLC to them using the legal means mandated by your state laws (check with a local RE attorney).This strategy is better than a double close because it's less risky and better than assigning contracts because offers are often made under LLC's so will be accepted more often than offers that stipulate assignment of contract.If you are already under contract under your own name or under the name of an LLC you do not wish to sell (like your company LLC), and your contract is not assignable, then you may be stuck with a double close.

This team should include professionals like agents, lenders, contractors, and property managers.Lastly, connect with other investors and attend local REI networking groups and meetups.

Let me know your favorite ways to do a deal like this.Property is currently not listed on the MLS and it's owned by another local investor / contractor.Let me know your thoughts?

When commercial lenders are evaluating a first-time CRE investor, they like when the sponsor is within driving distance of their first investment, so pat-on-the-back for staying local on deal one, it makes it a more prudent transaction for all involved. 

How do you ensure that properties comply with local regulations and ordinances?

I too am a local here in South Florida.

Are you attending any local REIA's/networking events?

I took the opportunity to venture outside of the hotel to look at the local real estate market.

I’ve had neighbors ask if I can print something when their printer didn’t work, drop them off to pick up a car they left at a local bar if it’s on my way, water plants, etc.
