AirDNA – This is my go-to for market research.

The zoning changes will make California a hot real estate market.

DFW is a fantastic market for multi-family investments, thanks to its strong job and population growth.

I have been narrowing down some markets and trying to explore/research more and network.

@Abigail Kingprimarily off market although, i've started to engage on on-market deals if i think they will fitvery difficult to find

Thus more marketable.  

There are only 2 ways, as I see it in the current market, to get actual income/cash flow from a rental property - a paid off long term/mid term property or a well bought short term or rent by the room rental.

The best way to learn the multifamily market is to purchase a multifamily property.

Help, I have a friend who wants to play the stock market and I don't know how to talk him out of it!

The issue I see is that market has historical appreciation below average (not bad, but slightly poor).
