No one person will have the perfect answer, but the more you talk with folks about the assumptions they make, the easier it will be for you to hone in on what assumptions you're comfortable using to run your numbers.To make all this a bit more concrete, here's an example of some numbers I ran just this morning on a small MF buy-and-hold (which is the focus of my investing).

It’s how professionals effectively reach their target audiences, and in no industry does that appear to be more important than real estate.Being one of the biggest client-facing industries in the world, real estate is one that benefits the most from various social media platforms.

We will likely meet in person at some point when it will make things easier (discussing specific contracts, shadowing of client based services, etc), but in the beginning it has been just through phone calls and text as it works best for my schedule at the moment. 

I can bump the limits of each policy easier (cheaper) than I was able to find some way to cover them all.

Condos might be easier to rent out and cost less to renovate vs those 1900s duplex/triplex. 

I've been spending some time looking at listings on Zillow and targeting rehab houses that have been on the market for awhile (>30-60 days), in neighborhoods that have a close proximity to sought after neighborhoods that will hopefully be rising in home value and with median home values that are at least 1.5-2x the asking price for the house in question.

Are these reasons actually the main reason someone only wants a cash buyer, or does a cash buyer just make that transition much easier and faster? 

You can pull the area your targeting and set the criteria for cash sales in the last say 180+ days.

The lease has to be at least 30 years, but can run up to 99 years.This investor says he has great success at it, as he targets owners of small commercial properties who owned it for a long time, too old and tired to handle the operational responsibility, but can't sell because of the capital gains issues.In fact, he started on this type of investment as a no money down approach to acquiring properties, which turned into helping sellers with capital gains issues.Honestly I think it's simpler than a 1031, for the lessor that is.

They do exist in multifamily, but they are just harder to come by.They are much easier to come by with the single family home space.If you're interested in single family homes turn key I can help you out.
