I'm looking to get started in both areas , purchasing multi family properties.

Most lenders will gladly talk to you to help you start planning a purchase.  

I curently own 2 STR's and manage 4 others for a total of 6 units under management,.

That is a good start.

Also, keep in mind once the rates start falling this fall, in my opinion there is going to be a short lived surge in purchases from pent up demand that people were waiting for.Hope this helps.Also, if you are looking to keep more of your RE Commission DM me, I'm a Licensed Broker in Texas as well.

That period of time may be more or less relevant individual investors, but it is the obvious starting point for the discussion.

A couple years ago, on a cost per ft basis, existing home sales started exceeding the cost to build new so that drives things. 

However, I do think if you can hold out for 1-3 years you might see rates drop a bit and insurance drop a bit, and I feel pretty confident we'll start seeing 3%+ organic rent growth per year in the next 2-4 years again.

I think condos are starting to come down a little bit.

Hi SauloI am not sure what market you are in, but BiggerPockets can be a good start.
