Higher concentrations of 1 BD/1BH vs 2 BD/BH could push the average up or down contrary to actuals.You mention only making $400/$500 per month, is that a per unit number or a net per month for all units?

Whatever the reasons, it gives you a picture of what properties to buy, what price to pay and which areas to concentrate your marketing.

Don't concentrate on mortgages or try to read the whole file.

In all that time I've never seen the kind of deals you need to be successful in this business - but I was never really looking for them.So today I was thinking about whether it would make sense to concentrate on my old neighborhood, where I bought my first house, as a target area.

I also have outstanding offers on 2 more.I have been concentrating on the Cleveland market, but will be exploring some other MF markets in the southern states on a road-trip in a couple of weeks.Looking forward to chatting with all of you!

So that I am not entirely dependent on my 9-5 IT work for a livelihood, and I have more leeway to take a break and concentrate on growing the IT business.Challenges I have been consistently making six figures and I have very high savings and zero debts.  

I'd say, BP online, and BP events, and local REIA are your best concentrated sources.

Multiple LLCs, your attorney and tax guy will love you for duplicating their work.However, I do suggest a separate LLC for multi family, 5 or more units as the concentration of tenants is higher and that increases liability exposures.Keep it simple, build in the options of courses you might take in the future, what tactics might be used and cover those areas as you form your Operating Agreement. 

I'd suggest avoiding the Auction.com properties and concentrating on the properties the other trustees have.  

I concentrate on liens in those areas.
