My long term goals are to do well as an agent, invest my earnings into a mixture of flips, builds, and buy and holds.

I have 1) saved up over $100k that I am looking to start with, 2) family who are interested in contributing to the right opportunity, 3) a six figure income and 750+ credit score (I understand this is not as important on the multifamily side of things) and 4) a burning desire to make this happen.Knowing that there so many of you out there that are further down the road than I am and have infinitely more experience than I do, I am requesting the assistance of the BP community to help me answer the question "How can I make my first investment in real estate be in multifamily/apartments?"

Proximity to NYC, Philadelphia, mountains, beaches will give it a lot of desirability. 

One last thing... to all the fellow investors as well as real estate agents out here...What are some of the key questions you would ask when screening a real estate agent to make sure they are someone you would desire to work with for the long-term?
