@Matt Heerwald  One thing you should also understand about San Antonio is that it has numerous military installations.  

To the original poster I would find a motivated seller of a nice duplex or triplex and search on craglist or whatever you use(zillow, truila, etc....) and find a seller financing duplex or triplex.

Hi,I have a friend who is starting her career - very sharp and motivated.  

I've read numerous posts about list sources and software all claiming to offer great information, almost all responses to these posts say nothing is accurate or offers any real opportunities, does anything really help find these types of properties??

I have completed a good bit of research via books from gurus which provide a 10,000 ft. view of the process but not necessarily a step by step. i.e. where do I find owners of MF to contact, if I find a motivated seller, what is the legal setup (syndication first, or LLC?)

He is not a motivated yet but I will call in a week or so to see if any thing changes. 

Zig has a gift for helping motivate you, improve your self image and teach you how to set and attain goals.

Understanding that you guys are a team is crucial, and a key to a happy relationship.I think you should look up Tony Robbins speech on the 6 motivations or needs of humans.

On the plus side, I believe and has been my experience that a motivated, hard working, intelligent, local RE operator can make good returns in any market in the USA ... they may use vastly different strategies in different markets and may need to shift those strategies as the market shifts, but there are always good returns to be had.

Very motivating.
