@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. 

I'm definitely valuing quality and timelines as I'm looking at a couple large multi family rehabs.

Feed Blog posts over time, add photos and videos to those blog posts and then as they post, post comments and links back to them on all your social media and then have all your social media friends like the posts (THIS IS HOW BP GOT TO BE WHERE IT IS TODAY - BLOG POSTS WITH KEYWORDS that get splattered, liked and shared all over social media and that go out in a newsletter several times a week - all those clicks back to BP and here we are - it works for sellers too. 

Hi Tim,We have a multi unit property in Detroit and would love to network.

If you ever wanted to look at some stuff in CA let me know, I'm currently investing in small multi-family in the Central Valley.Hopefully Woodland isn't as hot as Visalia today, I've got some family in Woodland - that's a nice area!

large multi-family?

I own my own home and have two toddler children so don’t want to sell and move into a multi family.

If house hacking doesn't pan out, we are also looking at buying a small multi-family (again 2-4 units) in several areas, including Sacramento, CA; Reno, NV; Everett, WA; Tacoma, WA.
