Ideally I would like to invest in state, but I believe opportunities are more profitable out of stateStrategy?

I am a fan of the Buy & Hold strategy as I think it will help me with reaching the goal of a) Generating enough cash flow to provide security for my financial future and b) Provide additional income for my retirement.While I'm currently involved with retail real estate, I'm more interested in multi-family residential real-estate; ideally the 5-25 unit properties. 

Ideally, I will have developed a well planned, long term investment strategy by the time I accumulate enough capital to dive in multi-family investing beyond my owner occupied property.I'm careful not to focus on a single niche right now.

Timing - You ideally want to launch your property as follows: On market Tuesday, Broker's Open/Caravan on Wednesday, Public Open House on Saturday. 

Would a creek side cabin be ideal? 

Ideally we are looking to purchase these properties, but we are certainly interested in joint-venturing or providing cleanup work for the owners as well if they would not be interested in selling the property.In an effort to help search for these properties, I was hoping to connect with a local real estate broker, who could help keep an eye out for these types of properties, compensated for by a finder's fee % of the profit if a cleanup deal goes through. 

This is an ideal instance for an offer thats low, but just above the tolerable threshold of approval. 

For renting to section 8 tenants, it's an ideal area for me.

Ideally, this deal will work out in our favor and we can start financing much quicker deals.

Its not an area that I deal in....Kudos,Mary
