Real Estate Deal Financing

[Mike Kehoe]

Hi BP community, I am new to BPs and to real estate investing.  I am currently evaluating several real estate opportunities to buy multiple duplexes/quads in Macon and Milledgeville, Georgia (about 2hrs from Atlanta) and would like advice on financing.  If the community could help me with the below questions, I would appreciate it:

1) If I buy 6 duplexes and want financing, how would conventional financing work, i.e. is this commercial?

2) What terms should I expect (interest rates, 30yr fixed?)?

3) What type of bank or loan officers would you recommend I search for/approach?

4) Does anyone have good contacts in the area?

Many thanks!

Mike
