Network as well and go to local real estate meet ups.For funding: you can HELOC, find a private lender to lend you 20% down, find a capital partner, or just live below your means for a little while and save till you have the 20% down (can go higher or lower than 20%, but 20% is generally required for fix&flips & BRRRR loans if not going conventional).

As a broker, I'm always trying to find the best deal for the specific client and property.If you are looking for local private money lenders, your local real estate investment groups might have some leads for you as well.Most institutional private lenders are going to need an appraisal/valuation of the property, and permits to be issued for the construction of the building (if your area requires it). 

Other strategies such as fix and flip or house hacking don't really appeal to me as constantly seeking out opportunities in hopes of generating large amounts of cash is not a part of my nature.Also, your local REIA will be an awesome resource for you.

I have some knowledge of whole sale real estate and need my contracts reviews to make sure they are up to Idaho standards if anyone can help me with that and also help me find a place that states local laws on wholesaling.

.- Any recommendations on local lenders in the greater Austin area? 

Hi, we came across a very attractive deal.

There's great real estate events around the Tampa Bay area that attract investors and may be of value to you.

I would go to some local supply houses .

Are you looking to invest locally in Akron? 

2) How do we prospect for another local PM company and offer to buy them out?
