There is high crime and low incomes in North, which do effect your investment, and the type of renter you can attract. 

Hi Brandon,I am very new at this real estate investing, and wanted to see what you have found to be effective in finding motivated sellers for multi-family and what you have to be key in determining a good deal or not, and how you determine which options to present?

@Sam Spoerl- some ideas - offer a Free/ no obligation  " consulatation "  or  something  to that effect  .. maybe  list  2 or  3  reasons what you can  do is better than the  traditonal  listing approach might be  worth noting  ( save on paying commissions  etc ) ....change the wording  on the  top right  of front of  card to  " You can contact me "  instead of " call right now "

It could just be easier and more effective to hire a really good Realtor!

If this agreement is terminated by Owner during the term of any Rental Agreement, Owner agrees to pay an amount to Manager equal to 50% of the management fees that would accrue during the remaining term of any rental agreement in effect at the end of the 60 day notice period.Should I be wary or am I overreacting?

Reaching out to out-of-state CPA is completely legal and effective.

Well it's not easy or quick, but it's definitely effective and this is the site to go to learn more.

I don't know, this market feels effectively frozen right now and I think its going to be painful for those who need consistent income outside of rental cashflow from the local real estate market. 

Or if you know people already in a VA loan take over their loan when they PCS and give them a small cut of the rent, they would in effect be your partner on paper, but you'd get the vast majority and any appreciation plus you'd be using their VA benefit. 

But unless you aren't good at property management, underwriting, can effectively source deals (wholesaling, or passing on deals from other brokerages doesn't count), legal or contribute the capital, nobody cares.
