If you are talking to a guy at the coffee shop and telling them that you make real estate loans and he asks how he can get into that, that is a completly different issue.

At the very least, you can switch out 1 week of starbucks coffee for dunkin donuts coffee and give the $10 difference to the site.

Nearby (< 1/2 mile) houses are listed at $110K, $80K $65K, $55K, $54K, $15K and $12K.

Hopefully local people you can sit, look in their eyes and share a coffee with.

It is not about who is drinking coffee anymore!

Now that the coffee is new, I can have it spill in my lap and sue both Mc D's and Starbucks!

Only BOA would want to restrict the demand for the crap they lost their bu_ts on by adding a clause they probably have no ability to enforce from a personnel standpoint--they are all a bunch of losers, time to wake up and smell the coffee and be thankful investors are willing to wade in and suffer through their god awful customer service to prevail and actually close on a property!

It is full of folks offering the "new new" method of making money (usually for the product developer only) continuously pulling inexperienced folks around the next corner.RE is pretty much a "local" deal, sure some folks invest across the country, but a significant percentage of folks doing SF and small multifamily deals are going to be living nearby or doing enough deals to be local in knowledge.For me, don't waste your time trying to find folks on facebook, twitter etc.

What is located nearby?

If not, you can always check with the local property management companies, other apartment complexes nearby, etc.Once you know the rents and number of units, you can get the GSI.
