This is because so much new multi family supply has come online.

Sometimes you'll get a different answer than just applying online 2.

I use Focusmate to co-work with others online. 

@Arron Paulino you can find some great information online (youtube) from Pace Morby on this subject. 

Maybe sign your own lease (from Wisconsin Legal Blank, store in Milwaukee or order online) but keep it MTM.Also, a little brokerage 101: when you ask for something in an offer, always make sure it is specific, with a deadline and includes consequences.

We've already taken a few online courses and read some books, so we're getting our head around the multi-family syndication business.

Every system you try will have flaws, or you may salivate over a feature that appears in other software.Some familiar names are mentioned frequently: Stessa, Apartments.com, RentRedi, TenantCloud, Innago, RentManager, Avail, Rentec Direct, Doorloop, etc.I recommend conducting thorough research on each app online to understand their offerings, pricing, etc.

I'd say the quality of leads vs other online sources has been and still is pretty good. 

There are a few things you could offer to make the deal enticing to the seller, such as a balloon payment, but I would keep it to less than 10 years unless it is too good of a deal.You need a purchase and sale agreement with the terms and after under contract you will work with the title company to get a mortgage and promissory note drafted by an attorney to be signed at closing. 

:)  Happy to talk 1-1 about ideas as we're finishing up our current remodel project on a duplex in Beaverton.And good luck with the search, hoping to hear great news so I can draft off your learnings when ready for my next one!
