Differences in Multi-Family v Residential Real Estate - Search Criteria.  I'm in Los Angeles County and Long Beach.

Hi I've purchased small rentals and flipped. 

I was wondering what some people who moved from small residential buy and hold to investing in larger apartment buildings went through.

Does anyone have advice for search criteria? price per unit, GRM, CAP, how do you generally go about searching?-- brokers, loopnet etc?

I've been attempting to contact 6-20 unit apartment owners directly but haven't had results.  

How did you find your apartment buildings, and what criteria.
