That being said, I am also in the beginning stages of embarking on my journey into real estate investing and I am interested in learning more about multi family units and rental markets.

Love this forum and all the great info I've been able to soak in as I embark on my REI journey! 

Thus far I have consumed several ideas of how one can embark on the real estate journey of buying multi-unit homes and rehabbing them as rental properties.

As I embark on civilian life and get into this game I could really use a little mentor-ship and would appreciate it greatly too.

I am excited to announce that I am embarking on my first real estate deal (wether it goes thru or not is another thing).

This is a very exciting journey you are embarking on.

Willing to buy dinner to pick your brain : )  - About to embark on my first 10-14 unit multifamily investment in Long Beach California and I've always been a big advocate of talking to experienced professionals to learn lessons and got'cha's prior so looking for local investors. please reach out!

I think I'm also seasoned enough to take the leap of faith and embark upon my next acquisition which is an apartment complex with 25++ units.

@Kitty Jedra I would agree with @Elizabeth J Humphrey and move it into a SDIRA to earn more and not be penalized for the withdrawal.I'm about to embark on the same thing to invest in notes with some of the IRA that will be a portion transferred over to a SDIRA.

To frame up my question: My wife and I are about to embark upon this journey with the intent to do some flips as well as buy and hold rentals.
