Sounds awesome....good luck on your endeavors and thanks for sharing!

I thought with a commercial property (5+ units) you don't use comps to determine value? I have heard everywhere that you base value on the income the property produces, not what other similar sized buildings go for .

Hey all, Pretty new and still educating myself on real estate investing but I wanted to get your input on where you would typically look to land good deals (possibly offline) when trying to get a 2-4 unit for buy and hold. Are there specific approaches to this type of investing or certain people I should align myself with (multi family realtors, flippers, etc..)? I guess I am just trying to figure out where these types of deals usually come from. I am looking to invest in Rochester NY and possibly Baltimore MD. From Rochester and living in Baltimore (which is way more expensive to acquire property) . Thanks so much for the input!!

I myself am very new to the community and am excited to learn from everyone and network with you all. Welcome aboard!

Ned Carey thanks so much for the information and warm welcome! Do you frequent these groups? Are there typically a new of newbies at these groups? Tony

Hey all....excited to be part of such an amazing community here on BP.  I am new to the whole real estate investing thing, but I am extremely eager to learn!  I have been listening to the podcasts, watching the webinars, reading the how-to guides,  and reading through forum posts to get a better understanding.  I would like to buy and hold small multi-family properties in the Rochester, NY and Baltimore, MD areas.  I am thinking of 2-4 units to start out.  Looking for ways to get solid leads, as well as financing opportunites.  Look forward to seeing you on the site!

Breon Jackson excellent advice! I am also just getting started (like 1 month of educating myself through BiggerPockets) and would never pay some "guru" when we have people like the ones on Bigger pockets .
