@Joe Splitrock I can't remember if I've said this before, but my plan is to take 10% off the top of rents, like a Property Manager would.

We want to try something - somewhere new, knowing that we can always come home.We have our sights pretty much through the east coast and some sporadic states throughout (KS, TX, CA).Ideally, we will invest where we live after becoming familiar with the market.

Telling the story to others helps them remember to not make that mistake again and helps the others to realize that a problem is a setback not a roadblock. 

So if its about making money remember you can make a great deal on a commercial property this year and a great deal on a residential 2 weeks later.  

Then you need to figure out what your ideal property looks like (spreads/monthly cash flow etc...) then start moving on those deals.If you do not feel comfortable with a deal either have a more experience investor (that you trust) take a look or better yet I HIGHLY suggest hiring a mentor who can be there for you night and day to keep you on the right path.Trust me...

I’m looking for an ideal multi family house plan.

Which would be ideal for a value add.

Remember that old saying "seek and ye shall find"

I deal mainly in multi-families and I generally know how much rentals go for in an area.

Remember, you're walking through C/D areas doing this -- it can get weird when you turn down the wrong street in the middle of the night.4.
