Good morning everyone,I actually grew up in Michigan and still have all of my family there and visit frequently.

Somewhat frequently, although intermittently, many of us hear a booming sound in southern Wake county and northern Johnston county.

Depending on a variety of factors you'll likely be looking at a 6%-9% interest rate. 

I live 2 hours away, so I can't frequent the area or go to local events to meet people in that sense. 

I don't think here in South Florida if you find a 7%+ cap rate it's automatically "pretty much a done deal" as there are plenty of multifamily properties that fit this metric that I wouldn't touch with a 10 foot pole for a variety of other reasons.

Used to get those emails more frequently.  

Additionally, I have frequently daydreamed about owning a larger rental unit.Now I am on here to deep dive into information and see if it is viable to invest in multi-family residential units in the Palouse and LC Valley.Thanks,Wayne 

As far as finding a mentor, it's a frequent topic here on BP and is even covered in the Bigger Pockets Ultimate Beginners Guide so I'd recommend checking that out, if you haven't seen it already.I will say that finding a mentor is a bit like finding a spouse - a soft approach works best.

Interestingly enough, I probably spend my time 60% in NYC and 30% in SF so I'm out there relatively frequently....of course those two markets happen to be way to expensive for any cash flow investing. 

I have the MLS and do frequent appraisals on foreclosures.
