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

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

I would join the local real estate club.

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. 

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

Have you spoken with a local credit union? 

Market research, local expertise, networking, property management, financial planning, potential legal and tax ramifications, risk management, and long-term vision are important factors to take into account.

And I bet your local market is too.
