If you are looking to buy and live in a multifamily in NYC...sheesh...I'd have to recruit some help on that one.

I currently work as a chemist and my company but I’m hired on through a recruiting agency (Kelly Services).

As someone who is just starting out, unless you personally know an appraiser as a friend or acquaintance, chances are one is going to have to go out there and some how recruit one off of a peer's referral, or maybe even the phone book; then build that relationship as you work together...

Creative financing is a curious termYou can be a real estate operator instead of an investor and make money with very little capitalWhen I present to the seller that has very little equity like 95% loan to value, they are stuck, and they need some helpIt is up to the real estate operator to show how song on charms will help preserve the little equity dollars instead of selling cash with an agentSubject to and wraps have their place when buying on terms if you buy on sub 2 and a note you can structure the note in such a way that is in your favor, such as a moratorium or interest-only payments etc.Sometimes you don't want to but you just want to get the cash flow and do a master lease or a master lease option in case of multifamilyYou going to need some money to have a real estate operations so think about recruiting some capital.

One thing i dont like about KW is how hard they are trying to recruit me.

I'm also under the impression that the only folks posting jobs on them now are recruiters who post a job that's perfect for me, but somehow that job is already filled even though it was just posted an hour ago.  

(We're also recruiting for more investor-friendly agents!!).

My concept was to try and locate (perhaps the local recruiter idea is worthy) one local company in the tech or bio med/chem field as they are very pervasive in this market.I would then work with them on a more exclusive basis in order to better maintain a more qualitative and responsible single tenant who would perhaps be more diligent inasmuch as they would be the exclusive lessee/renter.

My partner and I are newbies, have recruited some cash investors and are looking for homes to flip.

I am really good at research/learning quickly (straight A college student and honor grad during my military training #1 recruit).
