Hello everyone Cody here. I was hoping to get some advice on how you guys are finding these multi family deals. I'm 20 years old and don't know anyone really in the multifamily space. Are you guys using websites like crexi and loopnet, or is it better to go for off market deals, and if so how are you guys finding these deals off market?

Thanks for the advice I appreciate everyone!



Hi Cody,

We've been in the multifamily business for over 15 years now. I'd be happy to help you on your road to becoming a successful investor. 

Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or need guidance.




Question - I have about 50k and a 300k HELOC in addition to W2 income. Is this a good start or should I save more before taking the plunge?



There are always many ways to start investing in multifamily properties. To determine the most suitable strategy for you, it would be beneficial to connect and discuss your situation in more detail within PM. I sent you the request.

Post: What is Your Process When Analyzing Deals?

Quote from @Rowan Klecker:

What kind of process do you go through when analyzing deals?

I've been practicing by analyzing 1 deal per day and I have a very general grasp on all the factors that must be taken into account and the process, but I wanted to know what everybody else does first and how they identify a good deal before they do a deeper dive. Moreover, I want to know what people look for when they do identify a good deal.

Experience plays a big role in how proficient you become at analyzing deals. With practice, you'll develop a keener sense of what makes a good deal. Start by looking at the location, market trends, and property condition. Also, calculate potential profits by considering purchase price, renovation costs, comparable sales, and expected rental income or resale value before doing a deeper dive into the specifics.

Quote from @Sam Zawatsky:

So, I’ve got this rental property, was currently renting at 1000 per month, but I am trying to get 1400-1500 per month now. It has cabinets that are original, 45 years old. The cabinet under the sink had water damage to the base, and I have the option of just repairing that and painting the inside of it. Or I could just get all new cabinets top and bottom. Which would you do? Also, the toilets are old, probably 15-25 years old. Do you recommend just getting new toilets put in, because I am having the old really worn and poorly laid tile floors replaced with full LVP so they would need to be reseated anyway. I was eyeing the American standard cadet 3 toilets if I was to replace.



To maximize your rental income potential, you should consider replacing the old cabinets and installing new toilets. Upgrading these features can significantly enhance the appeal of your property and justify the higher rent you aim to charge.

Hello to all, I am Looking to start my first and many more to come flips,  I have a good team for tear down and remodeling, but I need guidelines on where to find deals and structure them correctly plug in numbers, etc any help will be very appreciated thank you in advance BP Community!



Hello Tomas,

For your first and future flips, you can try finding deals through wholesalers or realtors. Wholesalers often have properties at below-market prices, and realtors can help you identify potential deals in your target areas. Good luck with your flipping projects!



Quote from @Rehaan Khan:

I'm trying to figure out a strategy on buying real estate from the seller (no lenders involved) on payments, adding value and reselling it for profit and thus, paying off the original seller. Please tell me what this strategy is called & how to learn more about it!

Peace & Blessings
Ray


Hey Rehaan

The strategy is called "seller financing with a balloon payment." In this method, the buyer makes regular payments to the seller over a set period and then makes a large final payment (balloon payment) to complete the purchase

Hello. I'm looking at buying a property in the Dallas area.  I don't know the area at all. Anyone here familiar with the Dallas area, specifically the Hollywood / Santa monica area of Dallas?

Have you thought about investing in Kentucky? It's a great area with excellent investment opportunities.

Best of luck with your search!

Quote from @Hyeonji Oh:

Hi Everyone, I am glad I joined Biggerpockets to start my investment journey.

I was trying to buy my own house first but I decided my mind to buy investment property first. I am currently living in the Bay Area, California. I am looking for an agent who has experience in investing property anywhere in the States. After having one property this year, I want to expand my properties. 

I am open to investing in multi-family houses not only in California but also in the nearest states (AZ, NV, or WA). 

-ANY GOOD CASHFLOW AREAS in CA? Modesto or Stockton, Fresno, Sacramento, Central Valley?

-Any recommendations for a real estate agent, experienced in good investment properties?

Thank you for all your help!

I still don't know which area I should buy a multi-family home in California. Should I invest in the other states?



Kentucky is a fantastic place to invest in real estate. The state offers great cash flow opportunities and a growing rental market.

Best of luck with your investment!

Is a massive real estate crash on the horizon? Experts are divided, but what do you think—are there warning signs suggesting caution for potential buyers and investors?
