Maybe you can network with people that are doing deals right now and watch how they go about their process.

So lets continue to network and do more research to further our investment portfolio.

I'm involved with the Realty Investment Community of Houston and we help educate and offer networking for local investors.

Go to local real estate clubs and events to learn more and to network with like-minded people. 

You should be going on your local real estate clubs and events and networking wherever you go and hanging out with successful people and let them talk and be a good listener. 

A mixture makes sense if larger price though.

I understand the value of networking of course, and meetups, and there are a few that I've found informal (we meet at starbucks every monday afternoon) ... but I'm curious about these membership associations. 

Then if we have enough appreciation we would sell it and possibly re-investing in another larger building using a 1031 exchange to defer capital gain taxes.

There are a few ways to find (or at least try to find) cash flow positive MF properties: 1.MLS 2.Wholesale 3.market yourself 4.Network with other investors. 

I’m looking to start networking and getting my name out there.
