Now I am a beginner also and still searching for my first deal , but I’m no stranger to business and negotiations.With any negotiation the the keys are communication and transparency.

Problem is they are hard to come by in San Antonio in a desirable neighborhood for a reasonable price.

Also do a member search on here to connect with local professionals and that can't hurt either.

@kell caro @saj shah i have mainly been keeping my search to west oakland, north oakland, fruitvale or chinatown.

Hi @Ted Kawabata I'm happy to help if you're still searching.

I started a journey back in 2015 towards financial freedom with a goal of acquiring 50 units in 3 years time, and yesterday I was able to acquire a 19 unit value add apartment building in Berwyn with my partner @Scott Skinger With the 19 unit acquisition, I have gone from 0 to 52 units in just over 3 years time.Not only have I reached my personal goal of topping 50 units, but I also get an opportunity to re position a desirable asset in a growing neighborhood.

I've been working with a real estate agent to establish FMLS searches, etc., but the Atlanta market is one fire right now.

And this forum category has a lot of discussions on this topic, do the search and results will keep you busy reading for hours... 

Go find a seasoned professional in your desired niche.
