I'm relatively new to multi-family investing over the past year or two, but realize there's still a ton I don't know.

Quote from @Min Zhang: Hey Jason!

Make PB&J bars: mix 2 sticks butter, 1.5 cups sugar, 2 eggs, vanilla, 2 cups peanut butter, fold in dry mix, layer jam, bake 45 min at 350°F.

Pick a desirable neighborhood that produces quality tenants.Just to drive the point home, here is what I am personally doing: over the last 7 or 8  years we have gone from investing in basically half of Milwaukee (1.6 million metro area) to only investing in a 20 min zone around where we live.

I'm sure some attorneys will opine on here, but developers I've dealt with in the past that did both Fix/Flip & BRRRR generally had them under separate LLCs.

Quote from @Mathius Gazi: Hi All, My business partner and I have done a few successful multifamily deals in our area in the past, and we now have a group of family, friends, and associates who are eager to join us in a syndication where we replicate our multifamily investment strategy in this local metro.

If there is a need for a badge of honor I'd be more impressed to hear someone bragging about the truly passive VTSAX returns of 77.50% over past five years as compared to the low end dump they haven't ever been inside of in Ohio. 

Over the past 17+ years, we’ve delivered more than 600 properties that target the same tenant segment.

Networking events are OK too as long as you choose the right ones and/or focus on making quality connections.Referrals and past clients are a big part of my business but I can't say I rely on it.

The better the leads, the more they cost, so it really comes down to your allocation of time versus the money you want to spend.If you want to spend more and want quality leads, I recommend inbound marketing such as PPC, Facebook, or YouTube.However, if you have time, I would recommend going the outbound route with either cold calling, texting, or direct mail.There are additional methods, but those are the ones we have used in the past.
