Hello everyone, I am a fairly newly licensed MA Realtor and am about to purchase my first multi-family property in Western Massachusetts.I’ve done some flips in the past that I’ve lived in and resold years later, but this will be my first multi family property to rent out, and I’ll be buying it cash.Without it being financed, I have some additional concerns over keeping things anonymous and ensuring that an LLC is set up properly for protection.A local real estate attorney has quoted me $1,000 to establish an LLC, in addition to the MA filing fee.

Casey, It is legal nationwide to wholesale however make sure to get all purchase agreements/assignment contracts reviewed by a local attorney to ensure you have the proper verbiage & contingencies.

You also want to ensure you have ample liability coverage since you’re renting out the other side.

I'm willing to provide some input but the data you want is super property dependent.

Whenever you are buying a property out of state you should do a few things to ensure it's as smooth as possible.

@Cody Evans Ensure you think through your wholesaling goals and have your online presence strategically built to support these.

I wouldn’t recommend using Zillow for this because I would estimate 80% of the data is very old and wouldn’t apply.

A good realtor will be able to help you out, but a good PM will ensure your investment makes money.That 10-12k doesn't open you up to much selection here in Cleveland in todays MF market

Between these three you will have all the tools needed to  ensure a successful real estate beginning.Happy investing!
