Thanks for the responses, everyone. @Doug Spence, @Rhett Tullis, @Ryan Edwards, thanks for the suggestions. I currently live in a rural area in Norman. I'm a lifelong Oklahoman. I've been considering real estate for a while but held back due to the demands of my job.  I also wanted to reno my own house to learn what I was doing and convince myself i could manage such a project.  I met up with another investor in a similar job role and he convinced me that I shouldn't wait any longer to get involved (except to read up, educate myself, and plan). I've been making my way through a reading list he suggested which led me to these forums.

That sounds awesome! I'd love to hear some of your insights into the local market. 

Just starting out in Oklahoma City. Looking to make connections and build a team. I have enough startup capital for 5-6 properties, but I want to take it slow getting started. Any good recommendations for a local team, specifically reliable contractors, a good realtor, and a portfolio lender? I don't intend to engage a portfolio lender immediately, but I'd like to start building that relationship for when I need/want one.
