Personal stuff - I love spending as much time as possible with my 5 yr old daughter and the rest of my family, I love fitness (generally work out at least 5x a week), and I've recently developed (better late than never) a passion for real estate investing as a means of 'getting out of the rat race' as well as acquiring knowledge in general in order to better myself and share that knowledge to help others.I haven't uploaded my Pro video yet, but I plan to as soon as I get a moment so my BP peers can get a better feel (beyond the photo) for who I am. 

I'm mainly looking for multi family units in Kalamazoo Michigan (thats where I grew up, so Im pretty familiar with the area).

I am looking at investing in buy and hold niche (multy family apartments).

Hi Everyone - I've been reading through this site to try an absorb as much advice, lessons, and financing information as possible, but haven't found any answers for my exact question.I'm interested in finding hard money lenders to finance larger down-payments on multi-family units (loans of 60K or less).

I have a solid rental portfolio of houses here in Austin, but the cashflow is minimal compared to what I can get in multi-family or in the mid west. additionally, I'm looking at purchasing non-performing notes and turning any of the foreclosed properties into rentals.Are there any strategies for selling off the houses, either in bulk or individually, to minimize the tax burden for when I reuse that capital to purchase non-performing notes?

I'm prepared to look elsewhere if I have to: inland empire, high desert, central valley...4-unit or fewer multi-family appears to be a good fit.

Mainly looking for flips and multi-family rental opportunities. 

I have one multi unit that I have had for approximately 3 years.

I am not (currently) interested in flipping, wholesaling, or investing out of state.At this point I'm primarily interested in owner-occupied multi-family properties in the Arlington/Belmont area, as well as potential investment opportunities in East Boston/Chelsea.Please don't hesitate to reach out or introduce yourself if we share some common interests!
