Michael Uden I'm contemplating doing the same thing however, How exactly do you gain more direct access to MLS?

Since then i've just contemplated trying again and as of recently i decided "its either now or never, time to take action!"

I had not contemplated, however, the benefits to the geographical limitations of an LLC. 

I've also contemplated going for my real estate license.You're all success stories.

I’m contemplating getting the roof replaced up front.

I've contemplated leveraging and getting into a larger multifamily apartment building but in my area its hard to find anything over a 6% cap unless its in a really bad neighborhood.

It's just a horrible idea to contemplate such a strategy and should never be done.On whether to buy unpermitted units I would not.

hanging out and at real estate meetups.. you want to meet in person the folks your doing business with or contemplating doing business with. 

Investors contemplating investment in a multifamily real estate syndication deal should keep in mind that, while they will receive tax-advantaged income during the life of the investment, it may not be possible to defer taxes on capital gains after the property is sold via a 1031 Exchange.However, you can use a Deferred Sales Trust to help them gain tax deferral, liquidity, diversification and freedom to buy qualified real estate at any time tax deferred with your funds so you can create and preserve more wealth.

I contemplated that same decision and decided to sell and re invest in Des Moines, Iowa.
