Not sure if this will work out for me, but I’m currently just using google maps street view, going up and down each street in the area I would like to invest in and making a list of the small multi-families that I will eventually send mailers to.  

If your new lender doesn’t work out, (hopefully it does) you can try my guy at Gulf coast bank.

@Crystal Wilson - How did this work out for you?

I wouldn't continue to wait as analysis paralysis may creep in and next thing you know years have passed and you may not be in a situation to house hack anymore I.E kids or perhaps you move to an area that doesn't have many multi family deals that work out on paper.

If you have killer property management company and a good run of luck, its definitely possible for your spreadsheet numbers to work out.

Those 2 groups are filled with the exact people you mentioned.There is also a Pacific Northwest Real Estate Expo coming up that will have sessions focused on networking:  https://www.pnwrealestateexpo....

The 2 day cram session was definitely worth it since there is a LOT of information covered across the 4 classes. 

If not, when was the septic built (20 years or older and I would price in a new septic, and on 20 units... may not work out).

Last issue with this is, these are the same "investors that when they work out a deal it's always one sided in their favor.

Or, if you do, just realize it could potentially lead to the end of the relationship and bad feelings if things don't work out for both parties.I also wouldn't recommend that you start out your real estate journey in the niche of renting to felons.
