Hi All,I'm interested in Small/ medium multifamily investments in the Provo area and was wondering if there are any groups/investors that were active in that area.I'm interested in C, B- properties with value play.

I don't know squat about NY RE, but it sounds like these sellers are trying to exclude folks using HML, and look for only a) All cash buyers or b) HELOC buyers.If you want to play in this arena, and that is what is going down, I'd suggest opening a HELOC on some other property you own with the highest maximum credit line that your equity position will allow but a $0 current balance.Offer accepted, max out the HELOC, funds arrive next day, show proof to seller.Then you would use the HML to pay off the HELOC a few weeks later, if you'd prefer that the debt be secured by the subject property.

I have always thought to buy from people selling without extensive advertising and to sell through the MLS.Mark http://www.inman.com/2014/03/10/study-suggests-mls-played-little-or-no-role-in-nearly-half-of-2013-home-sales/

Play it safe w/ A, or risk it with B?  

Play with it and notice the difference a small change in appreciation rate or rent growth makes.

Near Gannon, there are many restaurants in old 1800's buildings, a city park that hosts special events, a convention center with flagship architecture, a community playhouse that performs Broadway plays, the Warner Theater which hosts various performers and the Erie Philharmonic Orchestra, an art museum, a civic center that is home to the Erie Otters (ice hockey) among many other events, a ball field that is home to the Erie Seawolves (minor league team), and a Starbucks on 5th and State St.

Charge him for the dead trees?

My wife and I are working now to better define the roles that we play in our company.

If it's an appreciation play, I'd go for Fruitvale SFR.- Neighborhood is getting better.

Unfortunately the market here right now is dead and there isn't a single other house in our town and price range that we are interested in.
