Networking with local real estate meetups in Raleigh or surrounding areas could also help you find leads directly from other investors.

Influence or control can lead to a beneficial owner even if you own little equity.Also it is 20 FT EEs AND $5M Revenue AND a physical office.

Hi everyone!I am a realtor in Marlyand and last year I bought my first duplex which I currently house hack. I am looking to buy another multi family property but have noticed lots of obstacles when looking off market....
