At this rate I feel like I'll only find a property once every 5 years.

Keep a close eye on local markets in emerging areas around Los Angeles, where property values are likely to appreciate making future investments easier as you build equity.Let me know if you’d like financing help or need more tips along the way.Best,Drago

The last house I bought, was brought to me off-market by my agent, and it's seeming that off-market is the only way to get good properties without the MLS prices.I've recently got a nice business card printed up, and would like to start a direct mailer campaign, using BatchLeads to find multifamily properties in the local towns that I wish to invest in.I have a pretty strict criteria about what I'm looking to purchase at this time:-Legal 2-or-more unit large Multifamily (not required to be owner occupied)-Each unit should be at least 3 bedrooms (so if it's a duplex, it needs to be 6+ bedrooms)-Sewer (not septic)-Gas (not oil)A lot of this information is not readily available online, so once I start my mailers, I'm sure I'm going to find people who eventually respond, but that don't have criteria which match what I'm looking for.I feel like it would be a waste if I paid a bunch of money for direct mailers, and then someone reaches out to me to sell, but their house doesn't match the criteria of what I'm looking for -- I don't know anything about wholesaling.What can I do to monetize these leads, or is the answer is that I need to learn So we believe no lead is a bad lead.

Well, here’s my simple answer - you can net more money if you do!

I’ve already reached out to a few property management companies, and while they would handle most of the responsibilities, they’ve informed me that we’d likely rent the property for $500-$600 less than our mortgage payment.

I don't know what banks that you use, but I would like to know.

If I was looking to get started in this sector I would start reaching out to city council members and find who I need to connect with and ask them the best way to get this mission accomplished and they likely will tell you more than you were expecting.Best of luck and what a great cause!

I personally like to have a mix of STR and LTR so that my portfolio is well diversified but my preference is LTR as I tend to focus more on appreciation than cash flow.

I am looking for any tips on how to structure my LLC as well as the best cities for Ohio.

While it's been an okay experience, I haven't felt like I'm gaining the knowledge I hoped for; if anything, it feels like I'm moving further away from it.
