From there, when interviewing prospective attorneys, consider asking questions that give you a sense of whether the attorney (i) works with other real estate investors; (ii) fits your budget; (iii) makes you feel comfortable - asking those seemingly "dumb" (but actually smart questions) is important, so being comfortable asking those questions is huge; takes the time to thoroughly explain things (you don't want someone who glosses over topics and leaves you confused.

I am a licensed real estate agent and have had my license for almost 10 years so I am very comfortable running comps and finding properties, but I am not sure what the best use of our money would be.

Prices are higher in 2, 3 and 4 units, because of what you mentioned in your first post...people feel "comfortable" with it....ie, more competition, and higher prices.  

Anyway Im looking forward to finally getting something going as I have been talking about this a long time and the landscape business is not what it used to be and in my eyes is not going to provide me with the comfortable life I desire.

However, I've learned that you should consider what your exit strategies before you purchase an investment, understand your equity spread, and be comfortable with potentially having to weather the storm (hold for 3+ years, endure multiple evictions, years with negative cashflow), Thanks,Dean

Now, I realize it goes well beyond rent, but I am just speaking from the perspective of maximizing your returns.

I want to provide a comfortable and happy lifestyle where money is not an issue.

I am trying to maximize my ability to purchase as many of the deals as possible. 

I am looking forward to networking with like-minded people and get out of my comfort zone to gain financial freedom :)!

I am thinking of getting my license to gain more control and maximize my revenue.
