Somebody that knows the multi-family game, and knows that local market. 

If there are even any other new people to the industry, lets talk!

Dear BP Colleagues,I am a new investor, looking to venture for the first time in multi-family - what are the things to look out when you are new to the game and starting out. (1). since I am looking for rentals - would I get access to lease agreements of existing occupants as a buyer?

The first step, I would recommend, is looking for a local real estate group to attend to network and learn more about the industry and your local market (unless you are looking outside your market). 

Also have you considered partnering with someone who is already experienced and has skin in the game?

You have to be committed to being better than everyone else in your industry every step of the way.

Larger Industrial property is a fairly hot area right now due to the e-commerce boom so you might find a bank that's interested. 

Hi @Danielle Matalonis...welcome to BP & the investing game! 

I was in real estate sales and Property Management for 16 years, but left the industry at the time of the real estate bubble to go back to college. 

But it's hard work to make a lot of money because you need so many properties.But I've been at this game a good long time now and have taken enormous risks and executed a huge variety of aggressive strategies.
