Let me know if you want to chat more about it or need specific model ideas!

Looking specifically for multifamily real estate investment opportunities.

What I don't control is the market price.The specific business situation where this may be useful is on absorption of a new apartment complex units, but then they have a metric for that, absorption.

The greatest and probably only leverage I have as an out of state investor is the proof of funds to show I have the liquidity and the risk tolerance to average 2-3 deals per month.The Yelp thing is specific to California and only for companies.

Specifically, where are the opportunities and how do you spot them? 

They won’t offer financial advice or specifics about what they think you should do but are there to answer questions and help you look at things from different perspectives.

Are there specific steps or systems you follow to ensure it’s done correctly?

If so, as @Brandon Weis mentioned, they come in all "shapes & sizes".You'll get more assistance if you post an example here and ask more specific questions about it:)

Another consideration is the permitting process and local zoning quirks, which can slow you down or force design changes mid-stream.

Scranton area seems to be a lot more landlord friendly than New York is, and the numbers seem better as well, Section 8 seems appealing for the guaranteed income but I will definitely take that information under consideration as I’m looking to invest in the area.
