The easiest way to start is to develop an investment criteria and seek out multifamily in each market that matches that criteria.

I'm looking to utilize my knowledge as an agent, as well as my degree in Accounting, to develop a highly successful and profitable business.My overall goal is to purchase single family homes and 2-5 unit buildings, and rent them out.

I do know a lot of people though including some politicians, urban/city planners, architects, commercial property developers and managers, etc, so they keep me somewhat knowledgeable of things happening around the region.

I have many years in land development, municipal, hydraulic and dams and reservoirs.

One developer though has successful purchased and reinvented some huge mill structures in a viable way and continues to make news with purchases and plans for these buildings.

The best way to get involved is to start out with a developer.

From what I've been told, you can only get massive results from taking massive action and to be successful, one must develop the correct habits of practicing the right actions consistently over a long period of time.

In McElroy/RDPD speak, develop your 'S' implementation using the 'B' methods.

Our area is booming to say the least, we have Exxon building their global headquarters 6.5 miles away, a new hospital just broke ground (Texas Children's, a specialty hospital) 3 miles away as well as other various developments going on within 15 miles of our current home.

My opinion is that you are developing an ongoing relationship with people you are mailing to (cold list) and they will contact you when they're ready to (perhaps) take action if you've made the vendor "short list."
