Thanks guys for the warm welcome. I hope to be posting about my new endeavor in multi-family investing shortly. I am working on postcards and yellow letters trying to reach opportunities before they are on the mls.

Although formally educated in real estate the "real world" is showing me something different. My question is why are 2-4 unit property prices evaluated and appraised mostly off of comps and 5 unit plus selling price is based more off of cap rate and gross income? Aren't we investing in cash flow and the numbers? I find that this is a barrier in breaking into real estate investing because income numbers should determine price of the property not comparable units.

Thanks for everyone's input in advance.

Hi Everyone.

I am from Orange County, CA more specifically Anaheim. I graduated from Cal State Fullerton in 2006 with a degree in Finance with a concentration in Real Estate. After running a family retail business for 10 years I am ready to throw out my formal education and learn how Real Estate Investing really works from hands on experience. I passed the CA Brokers License exam in 2011, but have yet to use it for a single transaction or to even begin. I am ready to change the outcome of my life by investing in multi-family units with the buy and hold strategy. I see multi-family units everywhere and figure someone owns these properties why can't that someone be me. I am looking at starting with a duplex and living in one unit and using the other unit to help pay my mortgage and build equity.
