What I would do is do a search online or check with a local realtor or buiness broker to find a property in your area.

Take into account elements like total affordability, policies that favor landlords, and property taxes.Make contact with real estate agents and investors in the target market locally.

If anyone knows about the nitty gritty of each neighborhood and tenant base it would be the local PMs. 

Smaller local markets are harder to nail down accurate ARVs and find reliable trade labor.Regarding managing general contractors, I've heard some horror stories from our owners who have worked with GCs they've never met.

Yes I was told in our local real estate investment group that most contractors will charge $500 if any permits need to be pulled.

@Veronica Calvillo There is a local group We Win (Women's Group).

Would be grateful if any locals or investors in the area could share some pointers.
