Hello,I am interested in starting my adventure in purchasing properties.

A multifamily deal is a resilient, recession-proof gold mine because rents tend to increase regardless of economic circumstances, there will always be more people than places to live, PERIOD.

Sean, everything Pat said above. 1st you need to have a clear plan on what you’re going to do with the place.

countyI...We use propstream and have found their valuations are always all over the place and take them with a grain of salt, but will look at the sales in the area/neighborhood.

I am Lee and excited to start this journey. 

We are currently starting to do flips to fund our STR acquisitions, are people typically buying properties through wholesale or using a realtor?

That being said, I would start with the lender.

That said the name if this place comes in real strong.. lol.
