I'm pretty experienced in long term as I have 17 rentals already but I'm preparing an offer on a bigger multi family complex "32 units" so was looking for proper guidance.  

Investment Info:Large multi-family (5+ units) buy & hold investment in Bryan.

If you have every lived or have family you are visiting anywhere in the Midwest, that's where I would start.  

Since then, I've documented the process as a Boutique Hotel investor and have a deep commitment to sharing my knowledge around Boutique Hotel Investing with others who are looking for a path to financial freedom, and Boutique Hotels is the best path to get there in my personal opinion.

we're trying to protect you and your family - hence the 'suspicion' =)

I currently have a family member dealing with "okupas" in one of his investment properties and he is been fighting it for well over a year to get the property back. 

Not just for my dignity, but for my family.

This is one area where it helps tremendously to have per-existing relationships with people in the industry such as family or friends.

Multi-family for me has been the way to go and has left me assurance that even during vacancy, I will be covering most of my mortgage. 

I am primarily interested in single family homes (to start out at least).
