@Christian Brodin  I hear ya on the cheap Memphis Multi's I don't think I have seen a city with more boarded up fairly new 40 to 100 unit complex's  and you just know some west coast group is going to make yet another run at them... sink a bunch of money into them only to have them basically be cannibalized by the tenant base there...

welcome to BiggerPockets Chad you found a good group of people here hopefully you'll share some of your experiences and how you got to where you're at and at the same time people here will share theirs and then I can learn from all of you good luck

My most recent purchase (9/30) was being used as a group home.

Meet up groups?

Meeting to discuss strategy over coffee would be great, I also intend to check out the meetup group.

Has anyone used Blackstone Financial Group to finance any of their property purchases.

I am currently in group coaching.
