Hi I'm Rob and I found this place from the podcast. 

I'm new to real estate investing. (Other than buying and selling my own homes.) Buy & hold multi-family building is first on my list. I have a relative who does it full-time who's advising me a little. I'm hoping BP can fill in the gaps & be a fun place to read, post and find colleagues. I have no idea what to expect, what to share & not share, & how much is too much. 

I'm reading Buying & Selling Apartment Buildings by Steve Berges. Seems to be a good springboard for research. Likable but long-winded, I'm editing and cutting 35% of the verbiage as I read. Old habit.
