However, I was hoping to get more applicable thoughts from you locals.I will admit, though the units I have identified do cash flow enough for my needs, I am concerned about the appreciation component of condo's in that area.

Specifically looking for someone who is investor friendly and can help me identify potential rental investment properties.ThanksZev

Hi @Charles Kimber,You would need to identify what marketing channel you would like to explore to find motivated sellers.

While you are deployed your could send out a letter once a month to multiple houses or neighborhoods you have identified.

A potential partner identified an off market opportunity that he wants to partner on.

Only way to identify the validity of a MF deal without any background on the property is intense market knowledge.

I would like for the community to be able to identify me as a lender and find me in the correct places.   

I hope to identify a property and be under contract within 7 days.

That way, you can understand if yours is a seller's market and predict fluctuations in order to adjust your timing when listing your property (spoiler alert: we can't really predict the future, but we can certainly identify trends and be more prepared than others);2) Consider potential uses: Depending on the demand in your area, converting a 4-family into a 2-family or single family home before selling might translate into higher and more profitable offers.

or even pay cash for it.I think once you get to a fair amount of savings, identifying what your goals are in the future might help give you a better guide as to what you can spend in the meantime.
