Reach out if you want to discuss, I can get you connected with a great local investor friendly agent!

They service all fifty states , and they are an investor friendly company they understand our needs.Cool!

Besides having a personal friend to mentor you, this is the next best place to learn.

I’m getting ready to make my next move in 2025 and I’m contemplating on staying here and buying a multi family property as an investment out of state (only an hour away) which would be a lot less capital and have a lot more land lord friendly laws or buy another multifamily as a primary residence locally and hack that property I’m single and live alone.

I would say you should start off by just meeting multi-family investor-friendly agents who can help get you started with 5 units search and work on finding you off-market ones as well Thanks Kerlous!

I use real estate to diversify my investments more than anything now.

My knowledge and subsequent track record has been one of basically following the wagon of friends and family(which as you can imagine has turned out to be a disaster). 

When my wife and I started out we new we wanted to invest but did not know how to, we took action and unfortunately found a family friend realtor (amazing learning experience) then we found bigger pockets. 

@Mindy PerryReally doesn't matter what software you pick as long as it has the features you want.Two biggest challenges with ALL software:1) None are perfect, so deal with the tradeoffs2) Most users rarely put in enough time to really understand how to utilize the software.
