I have a single family off-market in Fishtown that is a fair deal, and others coming to agreement.Talk soon.

I have found a family member that's willing to give me a loan for a rental property.

He told me that his family growing up was quite poor - he grew up in government subsidized housing.

You can drive around town looking for properties that looks distressed, put up signs, let your friends/family know you buy houses, look online, etc. 

There are two important things to remember here: first, you cannot selectively pick tenants without children, as that is discrimination against families in the state of Massachusetts, and second, you really need to make sure you can afford to complete the lead removal prior to listing it.

I'm looking to build a 2500 sq ft two level ecofriendly single-family home which incorporates natural surrounding into the design, I'm trying to figure out what my cost should be for architectural plans: elevation, floor plan, mechanical, plumbing, electrical, etc.  

My goal is to make 75K annually within a year through the acquisition of multi-family properties.

To add to it, not sure about your state, however in Mass, families are a protected class hence we cannot discriminate tenants or applicants based on their family orientation.

ie. single family, small multi-family, large multifamily?
