@Bryan Melendez although section 8 is a federal program, each office is run by the local jursdiction.

Storage units, industrial, raw land, development (a form of value add), zoning changes (a form of value add), office, hotel/motel, NNN, etc.  

They will normally charge you for desk space, using their printer, support from them and their office staff, Etc....Then there are MLS fees, Lock Box fees, Continuing Education costs, and the basic costs of running your own business.

I am noticing more empty spaces in retail and office that are staying vacant longer.   

Even if we purchase the multi-family, I do not plan on living in it as it is too far from my office. 

They all have employees and offices and overhead and are not doing this alone.

Don't listen to a brokerage pitch, they are all generally the same - our marketing is excellent, we are the leader in the area, look at our website and partnerships - they all have that.Cloud brokerages, in general, are better for independent self-starters, but the con is you will be on Facebook Workplace trying to network and won't have an office to go to.

Have the loan officer you are talking to model out both, so that you know you can close on the multi fam once you close on the HELOC.

I'm an investor and a loan officer, and I've been tinkering with the idea of flipping a property out there.

My company was only a couple of years old at that time, and I was still working a full-time job (working two full-time jobs, really).These are the shirts of men who have to get dressed for work for the day, going into the office from 9 to 5, so to speak.At that time, I was one of those men putting on a shirt and tie.
