Hi All, I wanted to introduce myself here in this forum, as I have not had an opportunity to do so before, but I am new to multi-family investing and have been diving in headfirst through the BP podcasts, webinars, forums, books, and other literature. 

However, in your experience, how much of that truly influences opportunity within an emerging market?

Will you be looking for "turnkey" properties or value-add opportunities?

Despite this, I'm a bit ahead of the curve and am looking for guidance as to where to go next.Currently, I work for a luxury brokerage out of San Diego as an assistant to a top producer providing marketing and management of all digital platforms; I received this opportunity through DMing multiple agents on Instagram hoping to get a job after my return from a study abroad as a way to learn about real estate.

(My usual spiel for this is "It's totally fine, I've been there too, I just need to make sure I have him on the paperwork in case there's an emergency, to protect all of us.") 

It's quite overwhelming and the thought now is that I should save a good bit of money first, but I hate to miss out on any opportunities in the short term if I don't need to be.

If your real estate agent has told you this is a once in a lifetime kind of opportunity, then you should consider a partner, and of course, a home inspection first. 

I still believe it can work in any market, however, I will also say Facebook is a big opportunity if done well.

I have just receive an opportunity to purchase areal estate portfolio which is in another state, it consists of  duplex, quadplex, 17 unit apartment complex, and single family home. 

This is your opportunity to also insure the tenant has not violated any lease clauses10.
