Hello everyone,

I’m currently under negotiation for the purchase of a 32-unit multifamily property and am seeking a reputable real estate attorney or escrow officer experienced in handling commercial multifamily transactions—ideally someone who’s familiar with investor acquisitions, including creative capital stacks (private capital + hard money).

What I Need:

Help with Purchase and Sale Agreement (PSA) drafting and review

Guidance on escrow account setup and management

Clear advice on contract structuring and compliance for California real estate law

Comfort with time-sensitive, investor-funded deals (we are moving quickly)

I’m building out my real estate investment portfolio and would love to create ongoing relationships with professionals who understand investor challenges and are committed to efficient and secure closings.

Referrals or direct contacts appreciated.

Feel free to DM me or drop recommendations below.

Thanks in advance for any support or connections you can offer!

@Scott Mac Hi Scott,

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your perspective—it’s truly appreciated! 🙏☺️ I completely understand where you’re coming from & you’re right that owning real estate is a key step toward truly being an investor.

I’m still new to the game, but I have a solid plan in place to move toward ownership & establish myself as a real estate investor. Posts like this are part of my journey to learn, network & connect with experienced professionals like yourself who have valuable insights to share.

I also want to apologize for the late response—it’s been a busy few days, but I didn’t want to miss the chance to thank you for your input.

Looking forward to learning & growing in this space & who knows, maybe one day I’ll be offering you in on an investment idea or I'll be the one offering advice to new investors!

Best regards,

Leslie

@Anyone. No One?

"Is business ownership without owning the land still considered real estate investing?

What if franchising is part of the strategy, with a long-term goal of acquiring properties as well?

Curious to hear thoughts from experienced investors & entrepreneurs."

@Joshua Robinson

It seems like we’re on similar paths! I’m currently working on a deal in Fort Lauderdale & actively looking for financing solutions like hard money or private lending. It sounds like you might have some great insights or connections & I’d love to explore how we could work together or share resources to make impactful deals happen.

Let me know if you’d like to hop on a call or chat further—I’m excited to see how we can collaborate now or in the future.

Hi BP Family

"I’m working on a 15-unit multi-family deal with strong rental & value-add potential. And it is Cash-Flowing as I speak. The seller requires a cash purchase & I’m exploring creative ways to structure the deal. If you have experience or resources to share for navigating deals like this, I’d love to hear from you!"

@Meghan Carson: Thank you so much for your kind words & encouragement—I really appreciate it! I’d love to connect & discuss my goals further, especially since you specialize in long-term, turn-key properties, which are exactly what I will be focusing on as an investor.

I’ll definitely check out the podcast you shared to learn more about turn-key investments. It’s great to know there are resources & professionals like you willing to help guide new investors.

Looking forward to connecting & continuing this conversation! But should I request you or are you going to request me?

Best regards,

Leslie

@Jaycee Greene - Thank you for following up! My primary focus is on properties in Miami and the surrounding areas, including Homestead, as I’m familiar with the market here. However, I’m open to exploring opportunities in other cities or markets if the numbers make sense and align with my investment goals.

If you know of any deals or markets worth considering or maybe even a deal lines up, I would love to know of it!

@Jaycee Greene - Thank you for reaching out and for your question! I’m currently targeting properties in the $200K–$500K range, depending on the location and potential cash flow. While I’m open to both turn-key and fixer-upper properties, my preference leans slightly toward value-add opportunities where I can improve the property and increase equity or cash flow.

That said, I’m also happy to consider turn-key options that provide immediate cash flow if they fit within my investment strategy. Flexibility is key for me as I navigate opportunities and continue learning.

I’d love to hear any advice you might have or discuss potential opportunities if you’re working on something similar. Thanks again!
