Hi everyone. I am 28 and a junior in college (I started late). I have been studying real estate investing for probably ten years. I haven't done my first deal yet, but I'm getting old (just read Brandon's post about that). Every successful investor im aware of says that the bigger deals are no more difficult than the smaller deals, the checks are just bigger. I really want to start off with an 6-12 unit multifamily property. I don't want to waste time with a sfr that cash flows a couple hundred bucks per month. I don't know if this qualifies as syndication, but I'm sure it will require a couple of investors. Assuming I can find investors, and have a good plan, what do some of you more experienced investors think of me doing this?

@Eric Blanchard. Yes, I have listened to many of the podcast. Great stuff, thanks!

Hi every one. I'm Joseph. I'm a full - time accounting student in Portland. I have been studying real estate investing in my spare time for several years and my father and grand father have always owned a small handful of properties (in CA), so I've had some exposure to the gig. I've made the decision to get a college degree first. My first real estate goal after graduating is to buy a small multifamily, at least 4 units. 5 would be better, to avoid the "homeowner" lending environment. I also have plans of building a property management company in tangent with an accounting firm. Anyone out there investing in Portland or have a REIA in Portland? I'd love to connect with you and see how things are going in this market. Thanks!
