I always like to see what others are doing to spur ideas.I'm looking for multi family deals but that market has been saturated with international money so I haven't seen anything good outside of a value add deal where you need major bucks, 10 million +.  

Unless you're looking to claim it for tax purposes, what about a hundred bucks in the hand, or whatever you deem worthy?
