If you already have low respect due to a pre-determined mindset, it's hard to approach the community with an even or reasonable keel.

I am excited to be a part of the BiggerPockets community!

Hi Jorge, glad to have you as part of this community! 

Hi Lamier and welcome to the BiggerPocket's Community!

Hello everyone,My name is Alejandro Ortiz, and I’m excited to join this community of experienced and aspiring real estate investors!

Hi BP community - I'm an investor with 3 SFHs in the Nashville area looking to acquire my first small multifamily property (2-4 units).I'm trying to determine the best approach for the 25% downpayment, comparing using cash that is currently sitting in a high yield savings account to funds from a HELOC on one of my properties.

Currently, we are targeting multifamily properties of 100+ units, and have been actively engaging with various owners and brokers, submitting Letters of Intent (LOIs) and working to secure deals.While some may consider our approach bold for new investors, we are confident that, with the right team and expertise, we can succeed in achieving our objectives.I’m excited to be part of this community and look forward to learning from your collective experience.

They are much more reasonable and are more intertwined in a community than some lender states away.

Cashiers is unincorporated Jackson County - where Highlands is its own municipality and able to act in more precise way that exact community. 

It seems like a win-win: tenants benefit financially, and landlords strengthen tenant relationships while making their properties more appealing.
