What kind of apartments?

I bought a 16 unit, an 11 unit, and an 8 unit at foreclosure. They all went the same month and were from the same lender.

Anything round that amount. I'm going to be in summer school this summer full-time & I just want one or two apartments or duplex.

Multifamilies in general are not common, so finding multi REO's is even that much more rare. I have seen very few. Now I bought some apartments at the courthouse steps once.

What kind ?

Any of the registered brokers agents can submit a bid for you and they have access to the complete list of HUD homes in the area. In my experience multifamily HUD homes are rare but you may be able to get some that are REO properties.

Where can I find multi-family REO's at ?

I believe the number one stigma PPL has hanging over its head is that it is a network marketing company (MLM).

To some, that is the "touch of death".

Is that good or bad ?

Taking the LLC approach has one important tradeoff that you should be aware of; access to high LTV loans (a majority of lenders cap lending to LLCs to 80%).

Is that a bad thing ?

Location, area comps, size, and functionality are all factored into the retail value price. Realtors can help with the comps or sometimes you can find yearly housing reports which are somewhat close to the actual value.

What I meant was how do you personally figure out the value, What are your techniques ?

What are some of the techniques you guys use to determine the value and/or monthly rent of a property ?

For example: I use the "Five Step Property Evaluation" technique from the book "The ABC's of Real Estate Investing" forword by Robert Kiyosaki & writen by Ken McElroy.

1. Verify property income
2. Verify expenses.
3. Determin net operating income (NOI).
4. Find the capitaliztion rate and valuation.
5. Calculate the loan payment and you profit or cash on cash.

Do you guys have any other quick way to determine the value of a property and/or monthly rent ?

You live in a bigger region I think. Which means the terms maybe a little worst than the SouthEast.
