So as for Russell who noted his success in the WA DC market ( expensive) I wonder if @Steve K. gets the same for his market in Boulder Co. ( expensive). 

So I am wondering what other ways can I invest in RE

Its a wonderful rental market.

Came across this old thread and wondered what you ended up doing?

I wonder how they are structuring these ? 

That's all I was wondering.

Which makes me wonder if this deal either A.

@David Putz I wonder if someone is maintaining a list of where all the servicers are licensed...I can't imagine that would be easy to keep track of, but I don't know how often they would change.Having a resource that has all the typical fee info and service states for each servicer in one document would be amazing.

However, with the rates and conditions of any triplexes and fourplexes we could find (we did find one, but it's in the Pendleton Heights suburb of KCMO, so we were worried about it being too dangerous of an area), we were wondering if it's worth it to buy a duplex and rent out the other half to help pay the mortgage, or if it's more worthwhile to rent an apartment and try to save up to buy a residential or commercial MFH later?

We are trying to put together a meetup group and wondered if you’d be interested in being a part?
