In a nutshell, step away from that screen and go get involved in your world. :)

I don't analyze schools, or shopping centers, or grocery stores, or anything else that doesn't involve numbers with $$$ in front. 

I would definitely check out the Real Estate Events and Happenings section as there are usually several different events for local investors every month, and they're generally great for meeting people involved in different facets of the industry to build out your team.It's certainly challenging to find good deals nowadays in the area--there's a lot competition, and almost everything you'll see on the MLS will be relatively overpriced (and/or gone within days/hours of being posted).

I am also looking to get involved in multi family, but in my area.

Typically a check list is involved

I have many apartments and 2 daycare facilities although none in the same building so that would be right up my alley.If you're fairly new to real estate investing and it's not a great deal, there may be some complexity involved so you may want to pass.

Wanted to share a virtual tour of my first rehab I was involved in!

There should also be an agreement signed by the seller agreeing to pay any shortage.In other words, this issue should not hold up your closing if you have competent representation and vendors involved.

I never knew the additional costs involved.

From there, you'll want to talk to folks involved in that bank or business.
