I've gotten a couple of people who need my help but wanted to get some advice from peers.  

There's plenty of them here on BP if you are looking to buy something over 80K.As for agents and property managers.....plenty here on BP that will help you out......If you're looking to spend over 80K.If you're looking to spend less than that you'll probably here nothing but crickets chirping and/or people telling you not to waste your time.....or theirs......If that happens to you PM Me and i will tell you excatly what a couple of people here on BP DID tell me to do to find a mortgage lender, Property Managers and Agents that WILL work with you.  

I'm trying to PM a couple of you, I think I need to send a colleague request first.Thanks for any and all advice!

Looking for a couple multifamily property in Erie is it a safe investment?

I am also thinking of using it for a couple of properties on my own too (duplexes) for the DTI issue mainlyWe are getting loans in the low 5% range with 25 year amortization and a 10 year lock.

I agree with Bruce Runn new investors should stay local on their first couple of deals, stay out of high crime areas and large buildings.

No price effect....in a couple of weeks it will be back to normal. 

I have hotel experience and have an idea to offer the owner to lease the property maybe with option to buy and also hopefully negotiate a couple of point for myself the property sells while I have a lease on it. 

But since it is really difficult to buy cash flowing property in San Diego i decided to focus on doing a couple of flips a year.  

I actually have a hard time even going East of University - with a couple of notable exceptions (SW corner of South Overton and the very west side of Heart of Lubbock.
