I'm excited to be a part of the local investor community and wanted to hear your thoughts.Have you been having trouble finding deals or do you think they're getting easier to find?

The local laws are loose, and we could dd 2-3 mobile homes on the lot.

Speak to your local, smaller bank or credit union, preferably a portfolio lender. 

Hi @Stedmon Sweeney , Local REIA meetings are a great way to network with other like-minded individuals in your market, along with Facebook groups and bigger pockets. 

Go to some local banks and speak to some loan reps. 

Duane,What not a HELOC at a good rate from your local credit union?

When doing rental comps, I use the MLS, Zillow, Rent.com, Conrex, Evernest, and about ten other property manager websites that are local brokerages and manage over 100 homes.

Zillow is usually the quickest way to get this information if you do not have local MLS access... just click on the pricing/tax history and it will give you the assessed value and tax bill.

There are also some really great resources for anyone starting out with some local groups such as AZREIA where we have monthly meetings and some great subgroups, including a new investor subgroup. 

Borrowed 250k from a private money lender (local attorney) at 10%, to be paid in a balloon upon the sale.
