I'm looking to absorb as much information as I can on real estate, specifically multi-family home rentals. 

I want to buy a multi as primary and run STR.

We’re currently looking for a multi family home to call home, since we’ve been living with my mom through all the craziness of the last few months.

I'm just curious, for those of you who are real estate agents/brokers that are buying/selling, are you utilizing social media (Facebook & Instagram) as a marketing tool?

She can help with your multi-family search as well as your SFH needs.

We own an out of state 45,000 SF multi-tenant light industrial building in Texas (we're in California).

I read that same book last summer, and not to be overly dramatic, but it did change my life in that we are soon closing on our second multi-family rental property. 

@Joshua GuenterTheres countless ways to generate leads... this can be social media, sphere, farming, postcards, door knocking, cold calling, open houses, the key is to learn and implement, you need to prepare to "test" for at least 6 months.

we are in a similar situation right now, getting ready to invest in hopefully single or multi family homes and also have many questions regarding setting up LLCs for asset protection and are at the point where we also want to meet with an attorney....what did you end up doing if you dont mind sharing?

My plan is to start by doing fix and flip and once I have some equity built up, to invest in larger multi family properties.I have started to ramp up marketing to try and find my first deal.
