Hello All,As an out of state investor who owns a few properties in STL, does it make sense to join this association?

That could be anything from not accounting for capex/repairs/vacancy in their calculations or a complete lack of knowledge in how to calculate their future property tax obligation (this is a big deal in Michigan).Just the other day I had a call with an investor looking at a 10-unit property in Detroit.

You can often secure a loan based on the property's value rather than your financials, making it easier to get approval quickly and move on deals like the one you found.Using private money can help you fund the purchase and the rehab costs without tapping into your home equity or savings, which gives you more breathing room and allows you to focus on the project.If you’re interested, I’d be happy to walk you through how private money lending works and how it could help with your current deal.

I also get a lot of calls from the yard sign in the front yard of the rental property I’m listing. 

The property types I'm most interested in are: Small (2-4 plex) and Large Multifamily. 

I've been buying and holding for SFH's rentals for 15+ years, but my goals now are Cash flow (70%) and Appreciation/Equity (30%) so I can invest faster/grow more in shorter periods of time.I ran this: View report on BP as a really rough test for investing in this property (3-plex, but also offers an attached 3-plex for consideration). 

I now have to have the entire property tested.

Thinking to offer seller financing to increase interest in the property and I like some of the advantages of seller financing.

My parents have a fully paid off property they have turned into investment for quite some time.

A mentor of mine with 400 units told me I can use a large seller credit to cover most of the down payment on a property I'm looking at.
