If either of you think they need to move, facilitate that too - offer good reference, help finding a place, moving assistance. whatever can get you possession back quickly.Seems like they are good long term tenants, so try to salvage it, but be wise enough to realize when it is impossible and move on too.

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?"

Anything that even pertains remotely to real estate and you find useful...For me, it's the usual BP, Zillow, Loopnet, City-Data and Rent-o-meter, but what other kinds of internet resources out there do you find useful for both investing and managing real estate?

Just let me know if I can be of any assistance.

If you are considering purchasing a home to owner occupy and are a first time home buyer take a look at the first time home buyers assistance programs.

Any preferences out there for insuring a single family home being used as a group home / assisted living home??  

If I can be of any assistance, please feel free to reach out. 

All,Can anyone recommend or refer someone whom I can speak with that can assist with off-market commercial property in D.C.?

My wife of 46 years stuck with me during those very lows in this business and worked to help pay those owner financed deals, the balloon payments, the interest rates that reached over 20% in years past, surviving without computers, pagers, cell phone and the internet.
