It’s been about 7 months in my target market since a multi came on the market with any cash flow at all.

We have a couple of target properties, and a back-up lending strategy will be that I purchase it through my Self-Directed IRA, but I actually have my eye on a campground that I wanted to possibly use the SD IRA to purchase, so trying to avoid that route if possible.Thanks in advance for any guidance.

How to reach my target market? 

Wholesalers & Off-Market: Build relationships with wholesalers targeting Hudson/Essex County.

Maybe target 80% positive with 20% positive-spin negative.You can also start posting about the deals you're finding and what makes them attractive. 

Big common areas look good in the ad, but in real life, those spaces don’t get used as much as you’d think — unless you’re targeting a “group rental” where the whole house is leased to one group of friends.

Starting in multifamily is a strong choice, and Boston suburbs can offer solid long-term value, especially if you buy right and manage well.Since you're just getting started, focus on learning how to analyze deals, understand local zoning, and network with agents and investors familiar with your target areas.

The 10 Year Treasury Yield dropped to 4% and some analysts are anticipating 3-4 rate cuts before the end of the year towards a 'target' of +/- 2.75% Lower borrowing rates equal increased cash flow, return and refinance opportunities. 

Small multi-family tends to perform well if you target strong neighborhoods and under-valued properties rather than chasing the most expensive areas.

At 36, your target to semi-retire by 40 is achievable if you combine conservative leverage with proactive tax strategy.
