My girlfriend and I have decided that we want to buy our first home this summer, and we are looking to get a multifamily and live in one of the units. 

We visited Atlanta back in April before we decided to relocate.

My 9 to 5 job is sales and I have grown increasingly frustrated with the prospect that I am making millions of dollars for somebody else when I could be putting the same effort into my own business thus,  have recently decided to go all in with real estate investing.I have a decent understanding of the process but I am stuck in the analysis phase of how to generate leads for a few hundred to a thousand dollars. 

Ive had some other advice I didn’t like from him before so just decided to take it to BP to get some insight.

Amortization in year 1= $4507Amortization in year 5 = $5426Amortization in year 10 = $6843Total mortgage pay down if decided to sell in 10 years = $56,031 The other awesome thing about 2-4 units is you can put them on a 30 yr mortgage unlike a lot of commercial real estate.

I guess what I am saying is that you need to decide whether or not the shop will allow you to reach your goals.What do you mean by "commercial residential"? 

None of this is a done deal, but it has potential to be a rare opportunity for RE investors that exercise diligence and intelligence.Intel 10 years ago decided to build there 10 B fab plant in Hillsboro Oregon and brought in 6k workers and single handily took the pdx metro out of the deep recession.. and it just keeps steaming along.. all the other companies that now want to locate there and all the talent they bring in.. some will go on to start thier own companies etc etc..

I have an additional two years to decide if I want to sue my Buyer for breach of agreement.Sure, the Seller could have found a deal that paid them more (oh wait, they had the house on the market for 9 months * NINE MONTHS and couldn’t sell the thing), so they took my deal.I had given the Seller $10 for a down.

Decide for yourself first how active or passive you want to be.

Based on those two facts alone she should be willing to provide owner financing and to be flexible on the price since she will not be paying rent (unless she decides that she is willing to pay rent).
