Brand new to REI and in the process of just acquiring knowledge before diving in anywhere.Since I live in the SF Bay market craziness, I'm looking into opportunities out of the area.I know Austin has been a hot market recently, and as such may not have much available (in the cash flow sense), but I'll be visiting there next week and curious if it's worth reaching out to a realtor there to take a look around.I figure when I'm ready, I'll probably look to buy-and-hold a single family or multi family that starts with cash flow.  

We are zoned for up to six units on the property, but in researching the cost of construction we have heard anything from 120 a sqft to 185 a sqft plus 200K in land development costs for a new construction multi-family.  

Who are some good brokers you guys recommend for metro atl multi-family real estate?

In our mind, we setup the company this way to do just that, avoid being double taxed by Business Income and FICA but our accountant is concerned with taking paychecks and not paying the Medicaid/SS out of it and then having to keep track of what side work is considered wages and what's not.

My main goal is to generate monthly income through buying and holding multi family units.

I have searched for over a year for single family or multi-family properties.  

I am especially looking forward to some help in figuring out if there is anyway for us to invest in multi unit properties in our area or within an acceptable range that would provide a decent cash flow stream that might make putting up with the job for a while longer  worth it.
