Allan Brooks We visited during the 3rd quarter of last year to consider investing in a few small multi properties in Columbus, But decided to buy in Washington with that capital...We should be coming back in the second quarter of 2016, I would really like to meet and a talk about exploring the market over there...Best of luck!

I live in Indianapolis, but I end up visiting Grand Rapids about quarterly because I have a ton of younger aged friends in the city.

I am looking to secure my first REI property in the 1st quarter of this year.

People say you can't in Austin and I just bought my fourth.

I've noticed many three family homes have a fourth apartment in the basement and it's considered "illegal", yet many have tenants.What are the problems with having such apartments and what's the worse case scenario for having them?

It resulted in additional value of about $3.5 million so the investors were thrilled with the end result.Were all investors thrilled in the beginning with zero cash flow for a couple of quarters...no.The best sponsors in my opinion are those that are in regular communication with their investors to keep them updated.

You add on the requirement to find compatible tenants, that must share close quarters.   

If you’re local, you can YouTube how to add piers to support or hire a handyman or someone to knock it out for half that (or maybe a quarter of that price really)

I would put bets on it being one or more of the first three, versus the fourth.
