We are waiting for our rental lease to end to buy our first property—hopefully a multifamily house hack (if we can find one that makes sense)!

We are going through Wildcat lending for our hard money lender.

Currently we have 124 units that we manage, we are fully staffed and use a modern property management system using EFT payments.

We are actually not too far from each other.

So things that are a red flag for me may be fine for someone more aggressive.1) Portfolio matching: (takes 30 seconds per deal)a) Have an educated opinion on where you think we are in the real estate cycles (financial and physical market cycles)b) Then only then pick the strategies, capital stack, and specialized asset subclasses that make sense for that opinion.

We are looking for someone who can do both at a reasonable price.

We are investors, not vaping damage testers.

I say that because we are in a very hot market and you can easily over pay for a deal just because you like the property.

We are at the end of our construction loan (which has already been extended once due to our contractor taking FOREVER) and not only are we out of time, but we are out of money.

We are in Barrington, so just next door.
