It’s like cycling through diets: hope, effort, disappointment, fatigue.I’ve been a data engineer for nearly three decades.

I've financed ~600 multifamily units across 3 large apartment complexes located in the Dakotas (Williston, Dickinson) and Wyoming (Gillette). 

I'm not sure if it's these guys specifically but people are paying $5,000 for some S8 guru.It's insane.Section 8 is not complex.

The property is a studio apt. located in a condo complex.

That’s not just them being conservative, operating a larger multifamily can be complex, and if someone doesn’t know what they’re doing, it’s very easy to end up with unexpected capital calls, debt issues, or tax bills that wipe out the upside.Multifamily also usually isn’t how investors get their start unless they already have capital.

I have a plan to sell all of my 1 to 4 family and maybe one or two small complexes and exchange for a large complex in my area   the issue is, the seller of the large complex does not want to wait for all of my holdings to be closed.

Also no.But you’re speaking with people who already raised their hand.People who want to have a conversation.People who are open to solving a problem.That accelerates learning.You get better at:Talking to sellersUnderstanding motivationSolving real problemsStructuring real dealsInstead of spending most of your time fighting for someone to stay on the phone.At the end of the day, this business pays you for:Talking to sellersGoing on appointmentsBuilding relationshipsLocking up contractsEverything else is mostly busy work.Busy work feels productive — but it doesn’t generate revenue.Cold calling also adds complexity beginners don’t need:List pullingSystem setupTool managementCompliance concernsConstant rejection managementYou’re already learning contracts, numbers, negotiation, and market dynamics.Why make it harder?

Would love to meet and get to know fellow like-minded Real Estate investors here in Knoxville 💯💯💯I'm currently looking to buy a 73-130 unit apartment complex here in the Knox area or a 200'ish pad RV site with city sewer and/or city water around the Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, or Sevierville area in the not so distant future for an out of state 1031 exchange 💱 If any other fellow investors are around I would looooove to get together for lunch or coffee sometime soon to talk shop and see what I can do to help you reach your dreams (real estate related or not!)

The HOA is $297/month, appears well-managed with healthy reserves and they fix everything walls out and insurance runs roughly $600/year.The complex is right next to a large park, and Auburn itself seems like a really nice city with a charming Old Town area.
