The first place I brought was in 1994, a flat in a 2 unit bldg a buddy and I brought together and condo converted.

I got my salesperson licnese a few years back with the intent of getting on with my buddies mortgage lending firm.

I have a buddy who works with me who owns 26 MFHs throughout Rockland and is the king when it comes to creative financing. 

Initially he replied no, but later that day he remembered that a buddy of his was once trying to sell a property but now just sits on it...vacant.

I've got a buddy trying to post a question on this forum, but he's having trouble getting his account set up for some reason.

Good job buddy, stay with it and see this thing through :)

Sometimes the use of another agent pays, let them show it and submit the contract, your agent will fight as to which contract was received and presented first.If that listing agent is doing some buddy deal, contact the seller and tell them you want to make an offer, underhanded types may avoid receiving an offer or delay it to get their deal done.

I'm in the research phase as well and just south of Charlotte in Lake Wylie, SC.I've been looking towards Fayetteville because I've got a lot of army buddies out there and potential for rentals.Good luck!

My buddy Mike Cantu is a legendary whokesaler who also works your (farm) market. 

He may also be able to tell you if there are any meetups, or point you in the direction of other investors there, etc. as I know he still has connections there.Let me know if you need anything buddy!
