Afterwards (buy them a coffee or quick lunch) write down everything you discussed so you don't ask them the same questions which they'd consider an insult.Do it!

Call them up and offer to take them to lunch or coffee and pick their brains.Good Luck,Allen Fletcher

Bigger Pockets is the one stop shop for real estate investing.

I don't normally do lease renewals, as it just seems to just be a reminder for them to consider shopping for a new place to live.  

I've shopped for duplexes in this area and they are hard to find.

I am about to start the process of shopping for conventional loan rates and getting pre-approved, but am concerned if I shop too much within a short time period it will adversely affect my credit score.Does every loan inquiry during the shopping process negatively affect your credit or is there a "grace" period after the first inquiry?

Just search coffee with investors in delray and I believe it will come up.  

We should grab coffee sometime.  

So this brings me to what ideas and questions i have: i am looking at a nearby new construction multifamily property (townhouse), where the area/location has great schools and convenient  to many amenities such as shopping and easy access to downtown.Also, this townhouse is a new construction property and should reduce or eliminate  my expense cost for the first couple of years due to warranties.  

The commercial brokers are basically the only source for getting reliable information on the current cap rates are in the market.Food for thought ... for the cost of a cup of coffee or lunch, you could get some great perspective and education from a commercial broker.
