New investor in the area. Advice!

[Steve Cardilicchia]

Hi everyone!

New on here and looking forward to connecting with like-minded people! My partner and I are looking to start our real estate venture and hit the ground running. We are looking for multifamily properties with some value-add opportunities. Hoping to get anywhere from a quad-plex to larger multifamily deals. We have private lending up to $5MM (on our first deal) through our connections, so BRRRing a large multifamily property is in our sights!

A little background on us.....we are both very knowledgeable individuals and extremely ambitious. We are primarily looking for properties around the Buffalo and Rochester areas, and eventually venture out of state and tap into different markets. My partner works in finance and I have been managing high-profile construction projects for about a decade. I have also been around real estate my entire life, rehabbing properties and assisting my family manage their properties throughout the years.

Looking forward to hearing everyone's input and if you have any advice or recommendations getting started with the situation we have. Are there any different routes we should be looking at? We are very open-minded.

If anyone would like to link up and chat don't hesitate to ask!

Thank you,

Steve
