That will be the next level to shoot for which the networking will make more achievable.

I don’t have nearly as much businsss as you do but we f doo our best to try to set them up with strong motivated buyers (sometimes we’re doing a sell and buy situation), and we also offer rental listings from our PM side if they’re going through a dry spell and need to earn but fortunately that rarely happens.

I suggest coming up with some foundational goals you would like to achieve- certain amount of cash flow, what markets, # of units, year built, asset class, etc- and then start looking.

I am a new investor and a newly licensed RE agent in Iowa, so looking to learn from seasoned investors and am aggressive in what I want to achieve in the near future. 

- Ask agent for seller’s motivation and come up with solutions.- Build rapport with agent.- Double deep with the listing agent (If your jurisdiction allows).- Move fast.- Make 2 type of offers - depending on seller’s motivation.- High Earnest Money Down- If you are experienced enough, remove contingencies - this would require that you close or else you loose earnest money.- Attach a letter of intent with your offer- Keep sourcing for other deals and do not depend solely on this one.

IF you can find a seller financing in MF, they want 35-60% down with a 5 year ballon, but this varies greatly from market to market, as well what the seller is trying to achieve with cash flow and taxes

The other thing I recommend is picking a niche within a niche and becoming a master at it. 5 transactions in your first 12 months is a very achievable goal.

When you find a rundown house and an owner motivated to sell, you'll make large profits fixing up and renting it out.

Small MF is in a way a combination of the disadvantages from both ends of the scale, you do not yet have achieved much economy of scale, but you have to deal with MF downsides.

I do NOT want to file for non payment although I feel like a "7 day pay or quit" notice would get the ball rolling and would cost nothing for me to place on the door and would certainly motivate her to move more quickly.
