Hey there, BiggerPockets family! I'm Jodey Rifenburg, and I'm thrilled to join this incredible community of real estate enthusiasts and professionals.

A little about me: I've been deeply involved in the world of real estate investing and building for the past few years, constantly learning and evolving in this dynamic field. It's been an exciting journey, and I'm eager to connect with fellow enthusiasts, share insights, and gain valuable knowledge from this vibrant community.

Lately, my focus has shifted towards understanding and mastering the art of calculating cap rates—a critical skill, especially as I set my sights on venturing into multifamily properties. The world of multifamily investing is both challenging and rewarding, and I'm excited to immerse myself in this new chapter of my real estate journey.

Currently, I'm working on optimizing the cap rates for three duplexes. It's a fascinating puzzle, and I'm navigating the intricacies of property valuation, expenses, and potential income to ensure I make informed decisions for these investments.

One challenge I'm actively tackling is finding the best platforms to market my properties. While the standard MLS platforms are undoubtedly valuable, I'm curious to explore innovative strategies and platforms beyond the mainstream. If anyone has insights or experiences to share on effective marketing strategies for multifamily properties, I'm all ears!

Then depending on the outcome order title as necessary. Another thing to check for if your in research mode is if the homeowner could be in bankruptcy thru google maybe a pacer search. As rarely are fed records recorded in county offices.

I am also looking for an online company that can do title searches.  I've seen some previous posts, but they are several years old.
