@Abena YeboaIf MLS access is your primary driver....its not worth it.

With that being said gentleman, i appreciate the feed back, i'm trying to get my foot in the door and have been doing minor research on how this all works. i have an investors mindset with a limited knowledge of the business.

., you'll probably do a lot better buying as close to Downtown or Domain where appreciation is  a big driver, than if you were to buy on the outskirts where your cashflow will be better. 

Eveything here is ridiculously overpriced and draped in regulations it seems so I've expanded my sights outside of the area.Locations of interest include; Northern VA, Pennsylvania, Florida, Georgia, NC, and SC.Plan:Small/Medium sized multi family properties 4-10 units. 2/1 up to 3/2 if available.Purchase price under $450,000 with a minimum of $100 cash flow per door after expenses but a target of above $250 per door after expenses.Cash on cash should be above 10% with 15%+ as targetProperties would be managed by local management company or Live-in manager.My plan, criteria, and areas of focus change with more knowledge gained.

I bust my a-- working 80+ hours a week, opening doors, showing properties, pushing paperwork, and... here's the kicker...

.- Found the experience favorable.Google definitely gets your foot in the door, but I prefer the responses here than those on the general web. 

In order to be truly successful you need to step outside your comfort zone, a lot of investors will feel the same as you but will do what it takes to open every door and seize every opportunity to learn and meet people that can help them succeed.

You can sell him on the fact that you find the deals, but other that, not sure what you would do or why he would need you.I work with several people on deals, I'm a contractor, but they either provide the funds or bring deals.  

Or if I changed the locks, and they kick the door in...would I have legal right to arrest them for trespassing, etc
