As my colleague, @Savannah Yingling,here at District Invest Group just stated, we have some local experts and clients making a living in Baltimore projects and agency as well. 

@Roger Lim -A good place to start is your REIA:https://lareic.com/Also, finding a local agent (or two) here on BP is also a good way to meet more investors.

This is 100x more true if the property is in a C or D area.I'd suggest reading up on the topic on the forums, where you'll find many examples of inexperienced investors crashing and burning hard trying to do OOS REI...the story is usually the same--they had no experience with REI, they couldn't find any cashflowing properties locally, but they saw that properties in other states (often the Midwest) cashflowed well on paper.

3) Check out some of the local meetups that you can find in this forum!

I've been recently quoted 10%, seems a bit steep...Not the most absurd I’ve heard - MF purchases 5+ units will typically range in the 9% range, especially if you are shopping wholesale lenders and not local commercial banks.

As soon as you’re able start to attend local real estate meetings and networking events if there are any in your area.

Work with local wholesalers and keep underwriting until you find something with a larger spread.

Please feel free to DM me and we can set up a call and maybe work together/share local tips!

I used a local real estate to locate this deal.
