Real estate investing has been a passion of mine for time with my mother also having invested early on where I likely have gotten the love and desire to follow similar foot steps.I have taken last 6 months to educate myself and currently own a single family home as primary residence and would like to expand to multi family properties (2-4 units) for additional stream of income, not to mention potential tax benefits for long-term investing.Based on current living situation, I have a fair amount of equity established in my primary residency along with having enough cash to either pay off house completely or use towards investing in a multi family property.Given that I'm the sole source of income for our household with my wife being the home maker for our two kids under 2, trying to weigh out risks with getting started now or perhaps waiting. 

I appreciate the insight!

Hey everyone,I’ve been diving into Chapter 1 of The Multifamily Millionaire, Volume II: Create Generational Wealth by Investing in Large Multifamily Real Estate by Brandon Turner and Brian Murray, and I wanted to share insights on one of the most important concepts: Crystal Clear Criteria (CCC).When scaling up to larger multifamily investments, having clear and specific criteria is critical for success.

Share your experiences, questions, and insights below!

Is anyone investing in or near this area that can give me any insight to the market? 

You would also want to add the LLC entity as an "Additional Insured" party onto the landlord insurance for the property.

So glad you could provide a better insight.

I think what @Garrett Brown is getting at is using this in addition to other methods.

They offer invaluable insights into neighborhoods, regulations, tenant demographics, and market conditions—information you can't get from books or podcasts.The good news is that working with an investment team typically comes at no extra cost.

Additionally, the price point is still cheap enough to find the 1% rule and positive cash flow and there's amazing appreciation potential.
