And, I'm attending a meetup tonight focused on commercial / multi-family!

Anyway - Were still evaluating these and it will happen, just not yet (and Im not looking to syndicate either).The whole point I'm making, DON'T loose focus on your backyard.

Focusing on one thing being multi-family is what I am trying to do at the moment so this episode reinforced that strategy. 

@Dumitru Anton, thank you for the recommendation, I do plan on relying on the military focused sub forum to help me with specific challenges.

There are gurus that teach a 'system' or two;  not being a guru myself, I look to help craft a solution to a particular seller's problem.Keep running the scenarios in your head and on paper to keep them in sharp focus. 

I am from Cincinnati and focused on Multifamily.

I am a long term hold focused cash flow focused investor, equity is just icing for me.

That will help you focus your search.

I plan on still utilizing him as a contractor, and would like to as a broker, but not sure how much of a focus I am for him feeding me leads. 

To help you focus, I'll give you a snap shot of what I look for, it may work for you, I don't know for sure but it works great for me.
