I am active in Monmouth County NJ which is a pretty hot market so if you are interested in working together on multifamily investment properties please contact me.

I decided last year to embark on a different strategy than my normal buy and hold investment strategy given that the market for buy and holds in California has become a lot more difficult where we have seen CAP rates move to less than 4 in some areas (San Francisco, Bay area) and only 6-7 in sub markets such as Sacramento and Stockton.The math has been pretty straight forward.

I'm sure I could find creative financing, but seems pretty challenging as a first investment when average property price is $300k+ for single family.

The good thing about where I live in NC though is that you can find pretty decent properties for under $100K, so hopefully it won’t be long until we can raise cash.

That seems like a pretty open question.

However, I have seen people doing it with below 20% down and buying investment properties after properties (I think it is pretty risky move).

Another new-ish investor and I are meeting for coffee this Sat at 2pm to discuss pretty much anything that comes to mind.

Lot more lengthy to type out it happens pretty fluid/quickly.

The test is pretty tough if too much material is thrown at you!! 

Pretty much in any scenrios.
