For example (just an example), here is a multi-unit property listed in the area we seek to invest in.

I don't know that Crexi has any information on the owners, just data on multi and apartments.Based on a Zoom call I was on last week it sounds like Crexi is stepping its game up trying to compete in the CRE world.

There’s a huge difference between winging it and setting up a system that consistently brings in genuinely motivated sellers.Get a website, focus on the 3 pillars of conversion (look it up), and crush it.

House hacking (buying a multi-family property and renting out units while living in one) allows you to cover or reduce your living expenses while building equity.

If you lose, you have those expenses and a multi-million dollar judgment to pay off. 

I called and of course Emma answered again and said there was a "system glitch". 

Our tenants don't seem to mind a security deposit (we charge 1/3 a month's rent), and we've already set up our systems to ensure no co-mingling of security deposit funds and rent (or other personal) funds.Still, I'd love to hear any experiences for good or ill that anyone has had with their services.

Typically, the bigger the square footage the more the price per square foot should drop because the cost of the kitchen, electric meter, hvac system, etc is then spread across more square feet.   

Investment Info:Large multi-family (5+ units) buy & hold investment.

@William VreelandKnoxville Pros: With family nearby in Nashville, you may have a solid support system in Tennessee, which could make managing properties easier, especially if you're new to the market.
