Today I am only managing my own property 15 units but will continue to grow that number.

I'm here to learn as much as I can about real estate because I am looking to invest in properties near my area which is metro Detroit.

Hi John,To effectively gather a list of multifamily properties for your marketing mailers, here are some resources and strategies you might find helpful:- Reonomy: This platform allows you to search for multifamily property owners based on various criteria, including location.

Have you found creative ways to market properties when buyers may be more focused on the holidays?

Otherwise many many many agents spend a lot of time and effort finding property and writing contracts only to find that the funds can't be transferred, or they don't have immediate access to the funds, or they need some kind of approval from 3-4-5th parties, or there are exchange restrictions, or 9000 other excuses.You probably need to find them a commercial broker who can handle whatever kind of investment they want to make. 

You are financing at less then likely future inflation rate.

This either provides opportunities to invest in more real estate, rehab a property(s) or for personal use.You can also sell low performers to do the same.

I'm particularly interested in purchasing two-bedroom, one-bath (minimum) properties that offer space and potential for adding an extra bedroom and bathroom.

I have the mental and physical ability to build more, just not the finances... 

Outside of that, your other options would be to buy a house using investor financing with an LLC that you're equal members of, and share equity of the property.
