I'm a full-time worker (9-5), graduated debt free (paid my way), and have one property and am looking to acquire my second.  

There are developments of 100+ units being built and new businesses moving in.I would really like to acquire a live in multi-family property, but as you can guess, there are none available on the market, and the few that pop up and bought buy cash buyers with a much stronger hand then a newby. 

I was able to acquire a property in a great location which allows me to charge a higher rent.

I want to be successful at this trade so I ask, how do you acquire your leads?

I am assuming that we'll want to acquire more properties down the line and will likely utilize 1031 Exchange again. 

I have my homeowners with Foremost on a section 8 property.I am acquiring another section 8 property and need a solid company to do basic liability.Who are some companies to call?

Before getting my license I acquired a lease option on a home that the sellers were interested in selling but agreed to do a lease option for 3 years.

When did you acquire that and did it make a big difference.
