I have a MFR and a SFH (going to convert to SFR) and I am interested in investing in mulit units, buy and hold.

I want to purchase an 8-10 unit property for a buy and hold.

I accidentally fell into 5 real estate deals and hold a $1.8M portfolio.

If I can get them interested, they may understand what I am trying to do and may be more open to absorbing the lessons learned that I know are coming.Finally, any success with the RichDadPoorDad game called 'Ratrace'? 

Again, other might feel differently here.b) Skin in the game: as a conservative investor, I understand that the dirty secret of industries that the waterfall compensation is in the line with me and incentivizes sponsors to take more risk.

This past few months I have been working with realtors who have borrowers that are ITIN status and looking to begin doing fix and flip, fix and hold; my company has NonQM lender that will work with ITIN borrowers for owner-occupied and DSCR loans but they also have so many restrictions.

You just need skin in the game

I'm looking to grow my network and build a team to buy& hold, Flip, and assign deals in the area. 

I’ve been wondering that same thing.Seems to me when comparing candidate investments, why would I pay more for an investment with risk and work (5% Cap multifamily), than a risk-free passive investment (5% CD or T-Bill).Note that going from a cap rate of 5% to 10% is a 50% drop in price…that’s significant…easy to see why a seller isn’t willing to give a higher return.I’ve asked the question before and gotten answers like it’s because investor borrowing costs vary, and you must consider future rent growth and appreciation … I guess if you have low borrowing costs and are optimistic about the future a 5% cap rate makes sense. that's just a bunch of bull from agents and gurus trying to keep their game going... of course price should drop 50%... say today the commeercial loans are at 7%, and cap should be 2% higher to make the risk worth while, so call it a 9% cap.patience... this bs market needs cleansing... and when the time comes, it will be easy picking.no need to play the hard game... my friend
