I am a acquisitions manager for a  wholesaler here in Oklahoma I have yet to buy any  SFH and I am wanting to  buy something soon, but I have been reading ABC'S of real estate investing and it has really got me thinking about maybe going into multifamily, it seems like you can increase cash flow more than just one, and I like the idea of that....
