I would love to hear about everyones most creative techniques behind the purchase of their personal multifamily properties.

All of these distribution centers being developed here are going to keep the population going up in this area and will make for a good rental market.

@Mark SeutterA self directed IRA is a way many investors purchase real estate, however the profits go back into your retirement account and may only be take out as a distribution.

Amazon is also moving in 2 very large distribution centers on the Eastside so they took the plunge!

Lastly what you will see is that civilization has come out to these places when you drive by and see some desert rat in his or her Mobile home stuck in the middle of no where that 95% of the time is on one of these old platted lots.. some areas Like some of the Lake co California areas town actually grew to them sewer and water and paved streets put in and houses builtBut for instance above Lucerne there are 7 thousand platted lots and I think 3 homes.. lots are 5 to 7k sq feet.. it was uncanny how they surveyed and platted them way back when .. this terrain is quite step but the road follow correct grades although some lots even with today techniques would be near impossible to build on.. 

Sure hope I can study and put the techniques to work to become successful in the real estate world.

But what other techniques are you utilizing to ensure that you can weather a vacancy storm in your market, especially if you don't have a large portfolio to carry a few vacancies?

Playing it out, we retire, start taking distributions from the IRA, the property is paid off (or not), and all the income that's been accumulating over the years is sitting there -- still accumulating from rents coming in.  

There is a time and place to use services like that, but I don't think drafting operating agreements is it since it should be personalized to you and your situation.There are a few things that I think should be in the operating agreement:1) How do you determine how much to take out in distributions? 

Take out what you want as a distribution.
