Personally, I'd take the time to network and get off-market deals. I wouldn't try to justify any prices just because it's a "seller's market". Don't work with the market, make the market work with you and your needs. That's just my brief $.02

Sent you an email.

Follow up question: What if I am the general partner and all of the cash investors are limited partners in an LLC (less than 10 members). None of the money was raised by soliciting but was raised from family, friends, and close connections. Would I need to go through the SEC filing? (Indiana)

Got you in that click bait! Ha! But wait... I'm reading tools of titans by Tim Ferriss and I must share this quote relating to the subject. "Far more money has been lost by investors trying to anticipate corrections, than has been lost in correction themselves." -Peter Lynch Page. 175 In other words, STOP waiting for the market to crash. Work hard and find the deals where the numbers work. The best time to invest was yesterday, so do the second best and start today.

If you want to move to Lafayette, IN then I actually have two duplexes for you. Lol

@Thomas S.

Thanks Thomas! I suppose that is the most logically way. I was just curious. I plan to keep all section 8 tenants at this specific location. I think they actually make the properties more stable even if the market is in a downturn. 

I would like to jump start this discussion again as I may purchased 40 units worth of section 8. My questions is: If I purchase a property that is "section 8 approved" is there a way for me to revoke my approval status so that I do not have to accept section 8 tenants anymore (unless I wanted to). I am in Indiana, therefore, I have to be approved to lease to section 8 tenants otherwise their vouchers cannot be used at my property. (Then again, I could be wrong.)

I am from Indiana and own a single family home and one duplex as an owner occupant. Buying another duplex across the street and trying to buy the one next to it. Also, raising money from personal connections to buy 40 units (20 duplexes) in their own subdivision. Would like to be at 50 units by the end of the year.

I have recently became a licensed real estate agent but have not signed under a broker yet or have access to the MLS yet. Will be finishing up my paperwork on Monday so I will be under Keller Williams. My past agent has brought me several duplexes and she is also the listing agent. Would it be wrong of me to ask for a commission split between her and I now that I am an agent myself or should I allow her to keep the entire commission

@Natalie Kolodij @Alan Rohrer wow, thanks. Luckily I haven't done anything that isn't reversible. I really appreciate the clarity on this subject and I hope others will be able to learn from the mistake I made!
