Especially interested in multi-family properties that can generate reliable cash flow.

Actually an 8% cash on cash return would mean you need $900,000 of CASH invested producing the 8% CoC return to generate $72,000 a year. 

I intend to do my due diligence, inspect and physically see the properties I buy, but it would be nice to get some leads from the community based upon real world experience.

I wanted to ask for your opinion on what is the best side job or part-time I could get to funnel leads into my RE business. 

You can determine the financial goals by taking the formula for every 50 leads you will have 20 motivated sellers and out of those 20 yow will make 5 offers and 1 should either be accepted or countered.I hope this helps but keep listening to these creative podcasts.

They will be more aligned with your goals as they make their money from the income generated by the property... not the sale.Here are some tools that should help you pre-screen opportunities.Redfin.com - Redfin's home value estimate tends to be more accurate than Zillow's.

It's owned free and clear, and the details of the situation lead me to believe the owner would be interested in owner finance.  

Good afternoon Stephen Dickey ,If you’re willing to work with an agent, look up any listing in your area on Zillow, redfin, realtor, etc... the 2-3 agents who come up on that listing should be receiving several buyer leads per day.

Like a lot of you have said I think over time my generation will move away from apartments and more towards houses.

@Ali Boone Thanks.....I am looking for SFR's  in the $80 to $110K range to buy and hold and generate cash flow.
