Initial plan is to acquire a 4-plex and then move on from there into potentially flipping or additional multi-unit properties.

He makes great points financially (Universal Law of Prosperity), and with telling insights to the current banking system both nationally and locally applicable.

On the flip side, if you put systems in place for effective management and screen your tenants thoroughly, you can very well supplement your current income with consistent cashflow. 

New "30 year" roof is good, but what condition are the other systems in the building?  

This is a very unusual mood for me to introduce myself, but I've been hitting too many walls and seeing deals fly by without enough manpower or systems in place to catch them in time.

I live in Damascus Maryland and I am currently looking for a mentor that is experienced in Commercial Real Estate Investing (Multi-Family), as well as House Flipping.

Good multi-family properties in safe parts of Chicago are drying up quickly so I'm looking for every and any avenue to finds leads.

A few other things you may want to think about are:Are you looking for single family homes to rent or multi family units and is there a minimum number of bedrooms and/or bathrooms that you require in each unit.Although I started my career working with renters, I have since moved on to RE investors. 

To give some more information on my plan, I am in the beginning stages of contacting lawyers, agents, contractors, mortgage brokers, and hard money lender to build out my contact list.Simultaneously, I am beginning to develop systems for generating leads.I have been listening to the BP Podcast for the past year and it has been a tremendous help in driving my interest in REI.  

Anyone know of good property managers with great systems that focus on larger complexes?
