Just wanted to take a sec to introduce myself

My name is Chris Kendall, I am 22yrs old and live in Anacortes WA. I currently own and operate a small pizza place called Westside Pizza and I also help with the franchising aspect of the company. I am new to the real estate game and would like to get off on the right foot. I am considering residential multi-family as my first move. I am very open to advice and i would like to possibly find someone who would be willing to pass on knowledge

All pertinent questions are welcomed. ;-)

So far i have just been spending my free time studying real estate investment/ property management books. I also try to talk with investors, developers, and agents from my area to sponge up whatever useful info i can.

What I am currently trying to accomplish is trying to find the right market for me, i have been searching in my backyard as well as across the country. Any suggestions on where might be a good place for me to start looking.

So you grew up in the PNW? How is Florida treating you? what kind of investing do you do?

Chris, it will be very difficult if not impossible to find any multifamily properties that cash flow properly in your local area. [REMOVED] Jim
