The Stowers Road deal was sourced through our extensive network of real estate professionals and off-market opportunities.

Hello all, I am an aspiring real estate investor.

The sub-forums are a goldmine for local insights and connections.

Are there any new opportunities or pitfalls to be aware of? Your advice is appreciated!

I will be his local boots on the ground and my management company will do all the management (a bank turned him down because he doesn't have any investing or management experience in the USA, even though I will be the local manager). 

There are a lot of crooks in the real estate investment world.

Find out what the local regulations are and check the local paper if there are any restrictions being proposed for the area. 

I've looked up local GIS maps and checked for tax assessments, but I don't think that's at market rate either.Same question for market rent - when searching for other parks in the area, it's very hard to get anyone to call / email me back for information.Any suggestions?

One follow up question; what would be best way to start building relationships with local lenders?

That's how I'm seeing it as well but you could always check with a local RE attorney to double check
