The biggest thing is that we have other pursuits that we want to follow, but those pursuits are in the arts and non-profit spaces, without the potential for the same income streams we have currently. 

Looking to get into the multi-family space, ideally 10-16 units, and the Atlanta area is a market we are considering. 

Was the agent including basement space that the other 2 didnt include, or maybe bathrooms or closets that the other 2 didnt include?

Electronic lockbox access, showing service fees to access properties.

Everything went along well till a bit of a hiccup at the end when the seller (owns the neighboring property) realized they didn't have a direct driveway into the property and tried to 3 hours after anyone signed get an easement off of us to get access to use our driveway (no way too much liability). 

Then use 1031s to consolidated your holdings into fewer or bigger assets or assets that are passive and enjoy life.One other note about 1031 is that it may have value with the properties you own now in that if they are not the greatest performers you can actually access more cash equity from a sale than from a refi . 

Ideally we'd stick close to I-5 for easy access to most people. 

You didn't disclose what your education level in the note space is so presuming you're just starting out I don't think that's enough time to really get your bearings.I think minimally you need to determine whether you want to go performing or non-performing.

My main focus is multi-unit apartment buildings & industrial/warehouse space.
