Location, number of bedrooms, baths, size of house, two story/one story, amenities,etc.  

I know some people from the area through school, always heard some stories, but I imagine like any market it has great pockets for the experienced investors.Whats your Multi-Family Market like for rentals?

(I also know them a little personally as I was originally against this development but thats a different story.)

Long story short, I injured my back and am no longer able to do that job.

I tend to acquire multifamily property in markets with a compelling growth story (of course the future is uncertain but it pays to begin in the right direction), improve the property to bump the income in the front side of the investment, then monitor for the optimal exit point.  

Well...that's a story for another day :)

Long story short, someone posted my number on Facebook (really should be called Fakebook) apparently generially advertising me as property manager for phantom property and (apparently-- I haven't seen the post) w/o background checks I don't manage and my company doesn't own.

But people use HELOCs all the time, which is clearly borrowed funds, so we know that's not the whole story.The full story is that you can use secured borrowed funds, no seasoning, no hiding, nothing.

I think craigslist may be a good source to find some off market deals but I wanted to see what more experienced professionals think.Any successful stories you can share? 

Your success story is still being written.Love what you do: If you’re not doing what you love, you cannot really claim yourself a success.
