. ****, even some of the localized experts like Mark Spain/Opendoor get caught in the trap of it too.

I can't seem to find anyone locally who will answer Facebook messages or phone calls.

All the off market stuff is held ransom by the local wholesalers who have a major footprint in the local markets. 

Hi @Cameron Rieman I'm local to the area and invest here myself. 

I would join the local real estate club.

I could go a step further too... in rehabbing the property, if I have a roofer, plumber, electrician, and painter perform work on the property (paid by the SDIRA), I could be considered a general contractor while not performing any actual work on the property or being compensated.

I have secured financing through a local bank and looking to grab a fixer upper rental SFH.

@Gloria Gronka I think a great way to get started is to attend local meetups. 

Based on my experience even with hiring contractors you may also need to do some minor project management to keep the project on track.I definitely see what youre saying about the General Contractor saving me money in the long run due to him knowing local regulations better and getting better price on materials!

You might want to check out the local Zone Code first.
