Hi BP,I'm working through a 18 unit multifamily Kansas City negotiation and would like some help thinking through deal structure, if it even makes sense.It's a classic mom and pop mismanaged property situated in a good area but needs a lot of work.What I know:12 - 1 bedrooms 6 - studiosHas a mortgage of $248k left at 11% interest rate Current Rent Roll.

Im looking to get a multi and live in one unit and rent out the other (classic).

After, if you seem to hit it off with them, jump into those more classic interview questions.

I also enjoy cooking and listening to my extensive collection of classic rock vinyl records.

Classic Leslie Nielson. 

To get a jump start on my investments would it be smart to save even more for a longer amount of time, for a larger/nicer house (the classic American Dream house) to take advantage of the small down payment?

Since the original post did not specify anything about specific topic, quality or experience.My vote for best classic course is Mike Cantu's "Don't get voted off real estate island."

That is classic......good for him!

There’s always the classic colors like Sherwin-Williams Navajo white or Ben Moore Dove White(pretty bright).  

@Keith Ellis If someone were starting from scratch, I'd have them read the following four classics in order:1) Rich Dad, Poor Dad - Robert KiyosakiThis book shifts your mindset2) The Millionaire Real Estate Investor - Gary KellerSimilar to Kiyosaki's RDPD, Keller touches on mindset.
