My lock notifies you by a light when it is time to change the batteries, so even in the event that the battery dies, you can still get in with a key.

Of course, I'm going to call my warm market, brings donuts to RE officers, and attend local business functions, but what are some other things I can do to start filling that pipepline?

Quote from @Carlos Ptriawan:  They believe that they will increase the properties NOI by 45% over 5 yr hold, mostly through rent increases after doing 5K interior upgrades in all 252 units, thus adding 19 million to value of property. how is it possible increasing rent 50% in 5 years period in place where comps and rent is decreasing, this local market is extremely saturated.For me if I have to buy in Austin I would find complex that could give DSCR 1.3 at least with 80% occupancy.if they increase rent 50% then we should do intelligence on their closest neighborhood's rent. 

If anyone can help or point me to the right direction of taking me under their wing or any networking events please let me know. 

I sat through the 3 day Big Live event very skeptically.

You need to check local laws because there are some nuances on controling thermostats and utility billing depending on the state.

Local bank or national lender? 

I'm a local investor and Realtor here in Jacksonville, and would be happy to connect over a call sometime soon to discuss your goals and options further. 

I can connect you with some great local lenders if you would like.Once you have your pre-approval letter from a lender, you are ready to start house shopping. 

Hi Heather, Your lending options can vary greatly depending on what type of property you are looking at. 1-4 units, 5-10, and beyond will have different types of lenders and more importantly different loan options. 1-4 you will have the options of FHA/local banks/conventional.
