Go to local Real Estate meetups and learn from people there

@Aaron MayWhen you are self managing, how do you find a good person to be the local go to person for emergencies?

If so does it need to be local to savannah or charlotte? 

TIA I look at these things the most when looking for BRRRR cities - Rent-to-Price Ratio: Look for cities where the average rent is high compared to the average mortgage cost- Population and Job Growth: Focus on cities experiencing steady population and job growth, higher than national average- Availability of Distressed Properties: Look for cities with a supply of pre-foreclosures, short sales, and abandoned propertiesNormally bigger cities in those states should do well, houses are still somewhat affordable (comparatively) and if you do a big rehab it'll pay off

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. 

Here's the difference between the two - a CPA typically has to have a bachelor's degree in accounting and masters level of education then pass a series of difficult accounting exams, while an accountant may have zero qualifications; this could be your local bookkeeper who learned everything on the job.There is also an Enrolled Agent.

AirDNA and other rentalizer tools are a great resource, but you can not beat real life numbers from a local expert!

Are you planning to invest locally in Rhode Island, or are you open to investing out-of-state?

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?
