If you end up moving in that direction and putting all the dominos in place, the last thing you want is to get towards the end and have the deal denied because of that.Unfortunately, most GAP funders keep regional to markets and people that they know and they keep them close to the chest.

I’m looking currently in the Birmingham/Montgomery market, any suggestions or advice would be much appreciated  Hey @Eric Fernandez, welcome to the BP Forum!

Im not familiar with your specific market but if you have not checked out the events section I would start there. 

Quote from @Mark Lewis: Hello,I am looking to build a network and connect with some other investors in the Belleville, Illinois area and get some feedback on anyone in the market.

I would recommend joining local facebook groups of hosts (if they exist) for markets you are trying to get in to.
