I am currently an Asset Manager for Multifamily Deals as my W-2 job and looking to buying my first deal in College Station/Bryan Area.Anyone I can connect with to pick their brain on different investing strategies? 

@Alba Cheung,your property manager should have already handled this and you should not be involved.

My partner and I have a couple units we manage as well in Washington DC.

So a question, haha, and forgive me if this sounds incredibly naive - how about getting a property manager or someone else with boots on the ground to do the underwriting by visiting in person etc.

Sincerely,Gabe There are a bunch of fund managers here on BP.

Spend a little more money than you might have been planning to, buy in a better area (i.e. not a “turn key” 100k house off the mls), and self manage.

Quote from @Jaycee Greene: Quote from @Jamie Parker: @David Mares The short answer is to build and develop the area.

From what I've heard, local banks are sometimes more flexible than the big guys.A buddy of mine managed to snag a HELOC on his rental property, which isn't always straightforward, but it opened doors for him.

I am a local agent, property manager, investor, and house hacker in SLC area.

Taking small, manageable steps now will help you make informed decisions when you're ready to invest.Good luck!
