Quote from @Rory Darcy: Hi guys my name is rory, pretty new to this im an out of state investor residing in new york, looking to invest in wisconsin and illinois, currently looking to build my portfolio around multi family duplexes or single family residencies, would be great to connect with like minded investors or agents who can lend a hand.Rookie investors should not invest out of state.

Quote from @Geritt Shipley: Hello, I've got a single family home in Portland, OR and the tenants began hearing rats in the attic about a month ago.

These are great for experienced flippers who can handle the tight timelines and costs.Private investing usually involves individuals funding your deal, like friends, family, or networking connections.

My average conservative deal creates about 70k in equity.

Investment Info:Large multi-family (5+ units) commercial investment investment.

Quote from @Malcolm Brown: My real estate agent provides listings (multi family homes).

Detached HousesWhen in doubt, consider the tried-and-true detached single-family house.

I've seen small multi-families (2-4 units) appreciate very nicely in the Lewiston/Auburn area.

Investment Info:Single-family residence fix & flip investment.

The outer boroughs—Bronx, parts of Queens, maybe Staten Island—are where people tend to have the most success, usually with multi-families.
