We are actively investing in the Champaign market, selling an inheritance property in Central Florida and trying to figure out what to do with our long term lease in Phoenix, AZ that is currently costing us a few $100 vs. cash flowing :) Excited to meet others, would love to know of any in person meet ups in southern/central Illinois. happy to be here!

@Austin TessTo buy your first multifamily property, follow these steps: get pre-approved for financing with an FHA Loan, identify a high rental demand market, choose between house hacking or pure rental strategy, analyze the property using the 1% rule, build a team, negotiate the purchase, and manage the property professionally.

I am willing to do a bit of rehab if my agent can recommend a reliable contractor out there as well as a property manager. 

I’m moving to Atlanta Georgia from Louisiana and going to buy my first property to house hack.

Meeting many different people that are on many different levels in their real estate journey.

I own 4 rental properties in LLCs in two other states. 

If a property needs a lot of work, it might have a hard time passing VA (seller won't make any repairs to get the property sold). 

@Jeff Fortuna@Dan Rowley I am getting 8.5 percent cash flow that is about 60 percent tax free from the mag syndication with a cap gain coming when they start selling properties.  

Here are some properties I have analyzed from investors I know and some other properties on the market1.

Great to meet you!
