The pro development and affordable housing advocates use the term NIMBY, but I suspect it is the rare person that buys in a single family zoned area that would be thrilled to have 17 units (qp16 additional units added) in the lot next to them.My initial protege was the land source on this effort.  

My goal is to wholesale some properties single and multifamily to build some capital while fixing my personal credit and building my business credit.

I have a 780 credit score and no debt besides my personal residence.

Dumb question - but are these auctions online only, or in-person? 

Feel free to reach out and we can discuss.

This is one of the easiest ways to dip your toes into real estate investing and get a feel for what it’s like to be a landlord.

I want to start smart and scale up as I learn the ropes, but I’m personally struggling to narrow down which area to focus on.If you’ve done this before, what advice would you give someone like me?

I also think most markets won't see anywhere close 6% cap rates (for single family homes which is what I personally invest in).The questions you get to ask are then:Is the extra 4% worth the hassle of management and lack of liquidity.   

I personally started in my local real estate market in Columbus Ohio.
