Great for my kids, terrible for my wallet.)I am secretly in love with multi family apartment buildings but I have very few connections with multi family investors.  

Thinking about meeting monthly, talking about the market, what people are buying and interested in.. all from contractors to owners of hardware stores, roofers and everything in between..

@Jeremy Rhodes - like one of the other posters said, you use your high W2 to get multiple rentals with good net cash flow - that means net income after ALL the expenses, income that is offset by depreciation to zero taxes (basically you get money in your wallet while on paper you have to pay zero taxes ).

Jobs would include light fixtures, door and kitchen hardware, appliance installs, etc. 

A small family owned 3rd generation hardware store in the rural area had their bank account and credit lined removed.

For example, liquor stores, hardware stores, banks, and curbside got MORE customers.
