Multifamily - I am interested in the idea of a multifamily (2,3 or 4) in which we would Airbnb our "owner occupied" unit and rent out the others.

Or does anyone have an idea of how I can pay for the attorney and be sure we actually get to buy it where the sellers get some money at the end?

I have a very good idea of what my financials look like for my first investment; I am currently trying to understand my options for asset protection before I make that purchase. thank you for all the help.

I would talk to a financial advisor, particularly one who is not motivated to just sell to your mom.An idea I heard on one of the earlier episodes of the podcast is investing in high quality, discounted notes.

When you find a property you like then you can always shop around for a better deal then but at least you can have some idea of what your price range is. 

Well that's an idea.

You can learn a lot from a showing.I really think this has bad idea written all over it. bad idea bad idea bad idea bad idea bad idea bad idea bad idea bad idea bad idea bad idea bad idea bad idea bad idea bad idea bad idea bad idea bad idea bad idea bad idea bad idea bad idea bad idea bad idea bad idea bad idea bad idea bad idea 

Loopnet is generally (not always) where deals go to die, but it does give you a good idea for the types of available properties in the market.

I had no idea that was even an option.

I'd love to hear some of the creative ideas fellow members have come up with to get started (or continue going) in this business.
