Someone midwest would be great, since that's my primary home, but anyone experienced will do. 

I’m interested to invest in the area, my husband and I are exploring all different options! 

I also like to make it a condition that the seller deliver a couple of days before closing an Estoppel Certificate from the tenant where the tenant confirms:  (a) true and accurate copy of the lease and all amendments thereto; (b) address/unit they are occupying; (c) statement that Landlord is not in default under the Lease: (d) statement that Tenant is not in default under the Lease; and (e) statement of monthly rent and remaining term.This protects the buyer in the event there has been a subsequent written or verbal amendment of the lease (that the seller does not disclose) and prevents the tenant from making statements to the buyer/new landlord that are different from the terms of the lease that was provided to the buyer from the seller.Vivian

You will meet people from different walks of life that will give you different perspectives on real estate investing.

“Multifamily” in real estate typically starts at 5 units or more, where 2-4 Unit properties, even with multiple units, is typically in another box.5-10 Units: If the properties you are looking at are more than four units, then the options are likely going to be a bit different.

I used to have 15+ units here, have been selling them off and going into a different niche.

That will make a difference whether you are using FB groups, craigslist,etc.

Hey Tramon, I'm not a truck driver, but i've worked with investors from all different industries.

Hi Heather, Your lending options can vary greatly depending on what type of property you are looking at. 1-4 units, 5-10, and beyond will have different types of lenders and more importantly different loan options. 1-4 you will have the options of FHA/local banks/conventional.

The plan is to sell primary residence in order to have the equity in cash and utilize that cash to fund the multi family purchase and have operating capital.
