I skipped Florida because of the humidity, hurricanes and skyrocketing insurance.

https://lareic.com/   tonight 6:30-9:30pm  3376 Motor Ave     Los Angeles, CA 90034#5  Plenty of discussion on here about different multi family networking/eco system groups.....go to one of their conferences....2-3 days of non-stop education and networking.....and I think you can figure out if that plan is for you I think starting with small personal deals and going thru all the pains, trails and tribulations and potentially successes give you excellent training for larger deals....but there are people who skip all that and go straight to big or giant deals......how good are you at underwriting, how good are you at vetting tenants, how good are you at PM, how good are you at renovations.....how good are you at raising money for other ventures....how are your presentation skills for convincing high net worth people to work with you....how much money do you have to get started....how good are you at finding, hiring, managing contractors.....how good are you at managing thru tough times.....like right now where lots of syndicators have their backs to the wall, cutting off distributions, going back to investors for cash calls, renegotiating loan deals....Last 5+ years everyone looks like a freaking hero....generating 30-60-100% returns. 

Land eats interest for breakfast, principal for lunch & taxes for dinner. 

I would love to skip SFR altogether and move right into out-of-state 5+ unit value-add properties.

I would check with a few laywers, I know with the eviction holds here in Florida, you could get a case if there was damage being caused to the property, maybe there is a way to skip the line if this is the case there.

So, here are a few tips that help a lot, provided we don’t skip out on any of these:Tips to Strengthen UnderwritingPractice Underwriting at least 2 deals dailyFamiliarize yourself with the cap rates in your marketDig out information about rent and unit count of the property either from the owner, apartments.com, zilliow, etc.Get accurate estimations about rehab cost per unit from the contractors.Certainly, having an experienced mentor helps a lot, as it cuts the learning journey short and makes you learn underwriting way faster.

Probably you can skip agency.... 

Hello, I’m look for a good skip tracing service so I can look up homeowners to purchase their properties.

"Guru's" whom I won't name that focus on fancy BS  tag-lines to sell memberships conveniently skip this entire force factor.

So, on the purchases the buyer really can't save on any commissions (lets skip the argument whether commission is come from the seller or the buyer).
