This may be due to inexperience, but it is a different market now (post 2008/9).I would really like to get reading recommendations from BP members on effective or favorite books that really helped you in your education, post 2009.My strategy is MFR - buy/hold long term (but open to SFR due to market availability).

You are taking your inexperience with the asset class and mixing in your inexperience with stacking capital and even LLC/LP operation and formation.

But the clients who don't know the difference may trust said person and could really get screwed over by inexperience.

I just don't want to be taken advantage of due to my inexperience. 

Inexperience?

I doubt I could get hard money because of my inexperience and how expensive it is.

But that is only an assumption, not rooted in experience.

Sounds like you may have caught a tiger by the tail; your questions show an inexperience in transacting real estate deals.

@Mike DymskiI've always interpreted the presence of posts concerning residential properties in the commercial, Multifamily and Apartment Investing Forum, to be an accidental occurrence - out of inexperience or ignorance - and not an "official" categorization.

I can't help but think this is on account of inexperience on the title companies part.
