Okay, so what you're saying is you'd recommend I:1) search some type of country records type thing and find the home addresses of the owners of these multi's.2) Craft a professional looking letter stating I like their property and I'm interested in buying... also include all my contact info3) Send a physical letter (maybe in an envelope, etc.) and send it to their home addressIf my understanding is incorrect, please correct me. 

If a broker/agent hones their craft over the years they get extremely good at what they do.

I'd imagine it's not easy to make money on them since most of your clients aren't wealthy are doing it for love of the craft. the real money would be in building out these theater or studio spaces, but as a rental you won't expect great upswings in your cash flow but you would be likely immune to downturns in the market

You're not financing anything do this, you can craft the requirement as a tenant reserve instead of more in lease deposits.  

I like the way you're crafting your deals.  

We have spent 10's of thousands of dollars crafting and tweaking all of our agreements with our atty over the years and continue to do so to this day. 

There are partnerships which can be forged with note investing but you have to make sure you have it crafted by an attorney based on terms and roles.

I've always had a desire to work in real estate and I just want educate myself as much as I can to be effective in my craft.

Purchase price: $150,000 Cash invested: $1 Hand crafted a unique deal with a USDA loan and seller financing to get into a house without spending a dime.

Maybe for hobbyists or small business to do wood work, arts and crafts, furniture rehab, mechanic work....whatever a person would rent out a space to do work.
