During my transition, I devoted more time to learning about multi-family investing applying for jobs. i covered a lot of ground during a period of several weeks and I've since moved into a performance-based job with greater income potential--in contrast to the capped income at my prior role--and the idea of investing has become more practical than ever.It would be an amazing opportunity to connect with folks in the Miami area to grab a coffee/drink, or even touch base via phone. ☕ or🍷 vs.

We would love to buy you a couple drinks or meet you wherever your go to spot is.We are currently in the Plymouth MA area, so I would prefer to meet someone outside of the Plymouth area so we don't have to worry about stealing business and competing with each other.

I have an 18-unit in Cleveland.Pretty much stabilizing for this first year, getting rid of inherited deadbeat tenants etcI have gone to Cleveland twice since acquiring the asset in September 2017:once during initial due diligence and I just came back from walking all units again with my PM last week.Wouldn't have it another way.Much less involved in it compared to my local Jacksonville buildings as my PM as been awesome in communicating.Oh by the way,I read this recent article on BP condemning Cleveland and Memphis to the bottom of some list of "6 cities"...I have no idea why people make these sweeping generalizations based on some graphic or data.It's like a girl saying to herself:"most men cheats I'll never fall in love".It's easy to write an article or create a spreadsheet while drinking beer in your man cave.I just returned from a week of walking the streets of Cleveland taking in the billions of $ in new investment in the downtown area and east of the Flats where an unbelievable transformation has happened since I last lived there in 2011.Vacancies are down, rents are rising.Yet some guy who's never actually been to Cleveland sits somewhere in LA and writes articles about how net immigration in Cleveland is negative etc.Hilarious.

The guests were happy to pay for the damage when I threatened filing vandalism charges and letting the police know about the underage drinking that the guests were facilitating.  

Now this tenant is allowing many people on the property (5-15 people daily) and they hang out all day every day drinking and doing drugs on the porch. 

They know just enough to upsell their victims, I mean students, on the perfect dream life with no stress, no work, just sitting on a beach drinking mai tais. 

Bank.I don't follow a budget, but my spending is a fraction of my income and I don't have an expensive lifestyle.It constantly amazes me at how many people claim to have no money while holding a drink from Starbucks. 

According to the Arkansas Real Estate Commission, you are required to provide:Hot and cold water, electricity, potable drinking water, adequate sewer and plumbing, functioning roof and walls, and functioning heating and air (if installed prior to signing a lease).  

I drink beer, shoot skeet and hunt ducks with several bankers on a regular basis.

If you have any advice or recommendations about the area, or if you'd be interested in meeting up for drinks and good discussion at any point, I'd definitely appreciate any help in starting this venture.
