I took an excel sheet I found online (from "Tactica") and tweaked it a bit to help track and compare different major cities/ different local cities by taking its population growth, labor stats, and rental stats/ multifamily stock to help someone visualize the different places and see where their next investment could be.

And then pay for digital advertising on local RE/business centric websites.

Hi Christie,I am a local real estate agent and investor.

While specific neighborhood recommendations can vary based on current market conditions, areas close to universities, medical centers, and business districts tend to have strong rental demand.

Websites like Zillow, Rentometer, and local real estate sites can provide initial insights.

Hi Erin - Look into Meetup.com to find local groups.

Stay local and don't ask for funding and think only nice people will try to help on the internet.

I would call a local eviction company or two, and ask them what they need to file an eviction. 

Educate yourself on the local market, network with other investors and agents, and always have a solid plan in place before making any investments.

Send me a message if you have any questions, I can be your local boots on the ground.
