New, I have interest in buying appartment buildings
I want to purchase a appartment complex. I have a Masters degree so I'm not seeking any more paid education. I'm a mechanical engineer designer with a architectural degree as well.
How do I get a commercial loan, buy land, find builders?
Or how do I buy a filled property, with investors money for the down payment?

I also advise Multifamily Millions and his Emerging Markets book by David Lindahl. Also, I highly advise to talk to investors that have already gone down the road you would like to travel.
I was on Podcast 238 and leave my phones available to talk to BP members every Mon, Tues, and Fri 3:15-6:15 in the afternoon to talk RE. Also, Wed 4:00-6:15 pm. That is PST. I live in San Diego.
I have 8 apartment complexes and am currently in negotiation for a 24 unit too. Right now I have 120 units and if I get this 24 unit, I will have 148 units. You could message people like me and pick our brains.
