Ideally, I'd like to have 5+ paid off small multifamilies by the time I'm 55.4.

@John Teachout  - I do not have to partner ideally, however the idea came up as the potential to purchase larger projects would be possible by partnering.

@Thomas Larsen if you have internet in your travel trailer, I host a weekly virtual meetup. 

It's ideal for BRRRR investors because they'll only require 90 days of title seasoning to use 75% of new appraised value rather than a loan to cost approach. 

@James Wise I play to just work for a real estate company first, I ideally want to invest but I plan to "test the waters first" and see if I like it.

My ideal 2nd property would be a buy and hold rental SFR or duplex/triplex.  

Can you present an ideal market as the target investment?

Need to find large value add multi-family for 1031 exchange (light to medium rehab ideally) primarily hunting in DFW, Orlando, Phoenix but open to deals in other states, MSA's.Other markets/states under consideration are anything in PA, CO, ID, TX, OR, WA, AZ or the Carolina's.Don't really want to go under $800 per month on unit averages, ideally $1000+.Price range of $10-$50 million.If anyone knows, or is a producing commercial broker in these markets, I would love to get in touch!

Check the company's feedback on the internet; key in something like 'xyz insurance sucks' etc.

A corporation is an ideal choice for an active real estate business e.g., flipping.
