Set up systems much like a production line. 

Let me add a few more thoughts for you if I mayWhat type property you start investing in is defiantly; what can you afford and find?

On the flip side, they might have some contacts for you as well which could help you finance the property, but if I were in your shoes, I would hit up every avenue I could to secure affordable financing for your project before pursuing this further.

The partner’s sons will not trouble you much, but look out that some boys poorer, much poorer than yourselves, whose parents cannot afford to give them the advantages of a course in this institute, advantages which should give you a decided lead in the race–look out that such boys do not challenge you at the post and pass you at the grand stand.

I am thinking of buying an affordable house living in it for about a year, move out and use that property for a rental.

I would ultimately want to add one investment property building per year, and specialize in 3 to 6 unit products to build a large portfolio of those products in the local Chicago market around Midway airport and the city itself. 

This trip has been very productive because for being here only a few days, I was able to see which part of town to possibly invest in and to stay away from.I was hoping to meet and personally shake hands with James Wise and Tom Ott, since I follow them on social media like YouTube, but I think these guys are busy--which is a good thing for their business.

I came across your post because I'm looking in the greater Dayton, OH area as a  possible first market for me as I live in the San Francisco Bay area and cannot afford to start out here. 

Im looking to invest in multi family (affordable housing to be specific).

All states saw property appreciation in comparison to a year ago.Eventually affordability will become an issue but for now the market is still thriving.
