Have a closing appointment tomorrow and not getting a straight answer.

You can try to make friends, you can get straight to the point, or you could just make offers.

I mean 3 units you can keep that straight but the more you bend rules the more you make special cases the harder it becomes.Systems and processes will save your life in this biz.  

On the plus side, I've learned how straight forward things like pouring concrete self-leveler and laying down vinyl plank flooring can be. 

If you can partner with your mentor, and leverage their track record with apartment owners and brokers, then you'll cut your learning curve and get to your first multifamily deal much sooner.PM me if you want to hop on a call!

They act as your cut-off on whether to even pursue.I have ALWAYS purchased based on positive cash flow.  

You will certainly need to find a way to raise some of your own capital to put into the deal so I suggest saving, cutting your living costs and perhaps getting a side hustle or second job to pack away cash.

This particular neighborhood is very established with renters and has its own Facebook group where people come to specifically rent straight from the owners. 

Hes straight forward and doesn't dick around like alot of sales people. 

I bought it when I first started out, and it gave me a great framework of forms, procedures, etc to make it feel like I was running a business and not running around like a chicken with my head cut off (you still will, but you'll look better doing it!).
