@Brendan McElhaney  You have the right attitude, you have to keep your eye on the ball and stay motivated to succeed. 

I'll keep an eye out for any deals for you on multi-family.Melissa

I'm thinking about rental investment in Tampa area and especially keeping an eye on Pasco county.

I realize that is an expensive proposition here in Puget Sound, so I'm gravitating towards starting with flipping lower end properties in Snohomish and Pierce Counties while keeping eye out for buy and hold opportunities. 

It is also a capital intensive process, but a condo conversion is usually the highest and best use of the property.One thing you really need to keep an eye on is to make sure the properties are renovated to the quality that will bring in conventional loan buyers or all cash buyers.

We are planning to be careful with our selection process and will be going into any deal with our eyes open.

Self direct IRA, business card, more learning, I'm starting and just need to listen in until something open my eyes to where/what I need to do. 

.- Success track record, creative problem solving, and great eyes for beauty in making ugly place beautiful while not spending a ton of money upgrading.- Since 2002, experience in SFH purchase, buy and hold, remodeling, property management.What gets me going:- Folks with track record in apartment investing to check out my financial model on this deal- Local Chicago Team with proven track record in apartment: contractor /inspector (subcontractor - plumbing, electrical, roof, exterior, interior upgrading), property managementThank You!

If you leave ANYTHING out of the discussion/contract - it won't end up exactly as you expected in your mind's eye!

She can pick a MFH that cash flows well in an area that doesn’t have the most to offer or she can wait for the one day that cash investors don’t have their eyes glued on the hot miami markets (good luck).
