Single-family homes are a great starting point, and as you look into multifamily opportunities, you’ll find they can offer more reliable cash flow and scalability.I’m a fellow investor based in Encino, and if you ever have any questions about investing in single-family homes in Los Angeles or multifamily opportunities, I’d be happy to share insights and experiences.

If they are offering seller financing, it'll often be in the listing.

If you allow this to continue, they will only get worse over time, and your losses will increase.I suggest you hire an attorney.

Had a listing go under because the seller had signed an offer to purchase and just walked away from closing without signing. 

I am broken record here on the forums - I highly suggest checking out as many in-person networking events as possible!  

I would even suggest a Primary home or Vacation home to pull the cash out of versus trying to find a lender who will agree to be in 2nd lien position behind a investment property.

The offer is still typically (100% of my transactions since August 17th last year) asking for my buyer agent commission to be paid in the agreement..

Let's of NYC investors look at other cities in NY, Rochester, Buffalo, etc... they can drive to them to see them, and they know the state well enough to feel comfortable.Most of the rust belt cities in NY offer cash flow as well. 

TIC offers lower entry costs and flexibility but comes with shared risks and complexities.

@Eric Gerakos can you give us some insight on how to find such offerings?
