Welcome to the BP Nation!!

Glad to see more local women on Bigger Pockets!

You just missed the national convention (due to schedule conflicts, so did I unfortunately), but there's great information there.  

Give me national or regional statistics showing prices, inventory, rents and vacancy rates. 

There are plenty of national players who'll cover your MSA with no problem as long as the property is in good condition and mostly rented.

You'll want to stay with banks with a national charter, so you'll be dealing with mortgage bankers who will equally have a national NMLS allowing them to lend in every state the bank does.You're right, if you stick with one lender who can secure your information and create applications for you for every property and every state, your purchasing and refinancing will be much more efficient.

Companies relying on the crowdfunding exemption would be required to file an annual report with the Commission and provide it to investors.Crowdfunding Platform/Intermediary Rules Funding Platforms must register with the Commission on new Form Funding Platform, and become a member of a national securities association (currently, FINRA).

I suggest you locate your local REIA Group per National REIA.
