There won't be a lot of how to invest (get that here on BP) but there will be a ton on what to do once you acquire one plus market, economic and political factors that effect apartments are covered.Rental Housing Association of Puget Sound http://www.rha-ps.comWashington Apartment Association http://waapt.org/Washington Multifamily Housing Association http://www.wmfha.org/Washington Landlord Association http://www.walandlord.com/Some are more focused on smaller properties, some on different parts of the state, some have better networking, some have more educational programs, some have great speakers at their events.

Hi LuisWhat was your planned strategy when you acquired the properties?

I don't have the cash to use as a down payment (or at least I'd prefer not to), but do have the expertise to find the properties, acquire the property, manage and lease it, and ultimately dispose it.Any insight would be appreciated, thank you!

Ok, first, my fiancé and I, who have full time day jobs have acquired and actively manage 3 properties. 2 triplexes and 1 twin home.

While I'm currently working two rentals (acquired through HUD) and one fix-and-flip in the city, I'm passionate about learning commercial multi-family, bulk REO dealing and raising the scale of my current operation.

The source of funds can not be discriminated against, where and how money is acquired.

It's a coin toss.I'm sure that I would have to speak with a real estate attorney regardless.However, I would like to know if anyone has acquired property using this method and what your experiences were/ are in these types of deals...I'd love to know how to grab these before they rot away and fall down.Thank you so much for your feedback BP as always!

Have one rental (former primary residence) and have a newly acquired duplex with one side that has existing tenants.I'm at the mental crossroads about whether I should do as much of the repair work as possible or just contract the entire package out.

Hi all - I am trying to acquire (or witness) some real world experience investing in Washington DC.
