BP is such a great resource.

Feel free to contact me via PM and I'll send you some resources.  

You have given no indication as to the size of the deal, your experience, or your own financial resources.

I have a lot of family and resources in Pittsburgh already and the lower prices there are a lot less intimidating to me than here in NYC.

That's my target and will be more than your gain, but I have 2 kids and reportable income so low I could practically qualify for free school lunches.

I work at a community college assisting students that are new, on academic probation, foster youth, and/ or those who simply need resources and guidance.

I have about $20,000 liquid that I can tap into from savings, which I would use a portion for the down payment, and my credit score is 710-714 so I'm not opposed to obtaining financing through a local bank or credit union for financing.Also, what additional books, materials, or resources would you recommend that I could read to get myself more familiarized with this form of real estate investing?

If one opens up the possibility to Partner on a multi-family, then you can also expand the target investments and the areas of Investments.

If the buyer has an agent, they just increase the price to cover that.I'll be selling my apt & townhome communities most likely over the next 18 months as my cap rate targets are met. 

I'm pretty new to the forums but I've been using BiggerPockets as a resource on and off for a few years.
