not everyone's family situation or commute or lifestyle permits it, but it's a great way to get started.it's also just objectively tougher to find good deals now than it used to be. 

I have no social sphere or contacts family or friends in Oregon (I don’t know anyone besides my fiancée).Goals: continue to have flexible schedule while enjoying what I do (selling real estate) and making good money.

I currently own a single family in Akron.

@Kris TohovitisI wouldn't recommend using your cash to pay off the mortgage on your primary residence since you can likely get a better return on that money by investing it.What's your buying criteria for the multi-family property?

Yes i am in the Bronx market and looking into closing on a 2-4 family unit property. i am currently looking into different methods of creatively funding the deal and looking into partnerships to create capital. .
