>I'd look to invest in small multi-family 2-4 units with a larger down payment ~50% or more (only way to produce positive cash flow here at the moment) I never understood why one would want to buy cash flow.  

@Lauren MerendinoI strongly believe that your chosen market should be somewhere that you can go to in person / have strong personal knowledge of / have family or a network in already.  

Feel free to reach out would love to network.

if you go to a meetup and talk with a friendly PM in a networking setting, they will probably be willing to share information.

Also, we will be having a free REI networking event Feb 6th if you're in the Milwaukee area.

It's stopping me from scaling to a much larger portfolio leveraged versus a smaller paid off portfolio.  

I was also impressed by their vast network and access to off market properties.

Consider offloading an underperformer, or a high equity property and getting better, larger or more assets.

I am in the Indy area and would like to better network.

The community seems to be very helpful, and we look forward to networking and learning.Best regards,Patricia
