Who has really bought a MF themselves?

I have bought SFR only thus far and made a-lot progress in my opinion. I see folks recommending MF books, training and etc and tooting MF. The best I can tell 9.99% of the folks talking about MF have NEVER DONE IT Themselves with MF.

Why recommend a book or training, etc if it never produced and results other than motivational information? If the teachings were so clear why no results? 

It would be good to hear from some first generation real estate investors that actually has done MF themselves. I noticed some extra young looking person say (they) had a 89 unit MF. Is (they) them and their spouse or them and their rich dad that had been investing for years before the son took credit or is they an investment pool where the person talking big only contributed a very small part?

I’m not trying to be negative, because I really do want to move into MF. I think it would be clarifying if more people that says, “buy MF” where ask if they themselves had bought one.

Joel:

I've invested in 9 apartments passively and my wife and I are syndicators of a 24-unit and a 272-unit property.  None of my family were real estate investors.

I recommend you check out Lifestyles Unlimited.  They have excellent training in both single family and multi family investing.  After we discovered the organization, it turbocharged our SF returns and eventually led us to multi family investing.

Plus, you are lucky enough to live in Texas. They have three large physical offices in Texas, one in your back yard.  My wife have been flying down to Texas 3-4 times per year since 2012 to attend events put on by Lifestyles.  They've been around 29 years and have 40,000 members.
