PM me and I will send you his info.In terms of investment focused brokerages, you have to remember that the brokerage's goal is to make money, plain and simple.

I suppose your area does play a part (especially if termites are bad) but I do remember a BP podcast where a woman had invested with her significant other in Salem, MA and they had at least one property that was many hundreds of years old. 

I remember you going through a deal recently where you were asking a bunch of questions on BP.  

Hey Brandt,I definitely remember meeting you.  

However, with that being said, I remember seeing several members speak highly of PropertyRadar so want to really learn the ins and outs of it.Honorable mention: Defaultsearch.com which I think can provide you with the NODs for free? 

Look at Logan Square, Humboldt Park, Albany Park, does anyone remember what those neighborhoods were like 10 years ago?  

Also, just remember that monthly cash flow can be highly variable in reality, especially with just a few properties. 

Also, my letters are branded to get the reader to remember my company if they decide to later.

Remember, with the cash flow from investments (as well as the tax benefits), every year you should be able to save/invest more money than the previous year.

Everyone wants to hit a home run when it comes to multifamily, but it's easy to fail as a property can easily go "off the tracks" when you lack experience or the funds to keep deferred maintenance issues from building up.Find a property that works for you both in terms of financially and physically and remember that this is your first big multifamily purchase, not your last.
