The only thing that has changed is the advent of the internet making it more widely available and the marketing word Turnkey got introduced.    

We're actively looking for our next move, ideally another MF but I've already found so many new ideas and information from this.

Ideally, a 2-3 family home would be great.

I think ideally I would contact a real estate agent in the area so I can discuss what I'm looking for, but since I won't be able to get financing yet I don't want to waste any agents' time.

Ideally looking for a way to understand a neighborhood to make offers in 15-20 minutes or less. 

I think that ideally you should buy with cash flow, and then have the appreciation be the icing on the cake.

My calculation tells me it will take 2.5 years to recoup and since I would like to ideally sell in 15 months, it seems better to stick with what I have at the moment.But should I be considering the cash flow I will save by not paying the interest on my mortgage for two months while a refi is being completed?

I would ideally buy a triplex or fourplex but it might be tough to find in the neighborhoods I'm considering.

When it comes to seeking advice from other investors, ideally you find someone who: is using the same strategy, in the same market, who has pulled if off within the last year or so.
