I have grown my group from 0 to 650 real estate investors in just 16 months, and we continue to grow at 30-50 investors a month, many of them from Bigger Pockets!  

Get ready, once the cash flow starts coming in the itch grows fast!

I have ran numbers on multi family & know the pockets of the popular areas that are what I would consider C+ areas.

Rents cannot be increased dramatically in less populated areas so cash flow wouldn't grow as much. 

Again Sub TOO BAD BAD for seller if the seller cares at all about their credit and or  any equity they may have if they did a wrap.I know its popular on this site to promulgate this method of buying problem is too many financial sociopaths or wanna bee investors to down right crooks for a seller to take this RISK which you are now learning first hand

It forced me to take inventory of my resources and relationships to grow my business.

I am looking forward to grow my business in the investment area.

This can be a formidable tool to use to both grow your fund and fund your growth, and there are considerable tax advantages as well.

I really like seller financing and value play apartments (big ones, not the little ones popular on BP), but like any other strategy, you have to know what you're doing.

Continue being active on here and then as you grow make the decision if Pro is necessary.
