I'm looking for a patient ally to help me invest in a multi-family property.I'm open to commercial-level properties and have an intermediate understanding of the dynamics of commercial vs. residential.I'd like to have a Skype conversation with a more experienced investor who is willing to help me work out some kinks in my plans and shed some light on my market.For those who would prefer to reply here, I'll go ahead and state my goals:GOALS:1.

Or you could always utilize private money.The biggest point to take home is to ensure you do your due-diligence, ensure that the numbers work with utilizing a hard money lender as they typically or more-so for short-term purposes because of their higher interests, short-term loans, and other fees/expenses.Good luck

One day in the future when Jerry Brown or some future out of their mind tax and spend politician puts a confiscatory limitation on what you can do with your private property and do you think you’ll be able to sell that easily or will it be worth as much?!?!

When they said yes I asked what price and  let the conversation roll.

I dont know if he married into a crazy family or what - what I was told of him at the apt community he lived at when he was single was that he was an angel and a clean freak and played by the rules.I dont know if he felt I was a sucker as I was a private landlord and moving out of town or what. 

Send me an email to continue the conversation. 

And I didn’t start out with much money - I looked for every creative way I can to find properties for little to no money down, using hard money loans, contract for deeds, private funding, and leveraging my retirement accounts.

Did you use a mix of private and hard money?

I am not saying it's impossible but would be hard.Another way would be find private money from friends and family for down payment.

  I recently met a guy on a job site that during a brief conversation about real estate, had explained that he was interested in selling the duplex he lived in.
