I say go for it as long as it will align with your long term goals. 

I always tell them my goals so they can assist me better.

My long-term goal (6 years) is to manage 11 units earning a monthly cashflow of $4.4k ($52.8k/year).

Do you, as the agent, get the investor to sign a buyers agency agreement to ensure a commission or do you get some type of referral fee to allow the investor to close the deal faster?

I realize there are all sorts of investment types and goals out there, but the beauty of multi-family investments is in the economies of scale.  

Long term goal is rent, refi and repeat once complete but until then, it is a money pit.

Hi @Matt Hoiles I would love to hear your process on how you purchased that first multi-family in Nashville, as I have very similar goals.

While many events are for members only, I believe the bus trip is open to the public, and they have at least one free event per month.Regarding your capital, you have more than enough to go directly into multi family which would allow you to build passive income faster.  

Your biggest asset will be your mind, it's all about critical thinking.What are your specific goals?

The ones that think they do are usually following the traditional BP model...and they'd be wrong.You have to "reverse engineer" it, starting from your Financial Goals, and working your way to where you are right now.
