Post: How to network and find partners to for multifamily investing?

Hello everyone, 

I am focusing on acquiring my first multifamily deal this year. Particularly I am looking at some 6-plex and 8-plex units in my target market. I am seeking recommendations on how to network with investors and find those who may be interested in coming on as a joint venture/partner. I'd be seeking someone to fund the down payment of the deal and I would be responsible for property management/bringing in funds for initial renovations for a profit/split. I've been previously working on acquiring single-family units via the house hacking method but this year, I'm shifting gears to take my goals to the next level. 

I'm looking for advice and recommendations on how to go about this. So many BP podcasts that I've listened to someone brought a "partner" in on the deal but they don't typically expound upon the journey to finding said partner. 

Thank you in advance for the help!

Post: Searching for CPA to assist with tax returns for multiple businesses and tax planning

Hello all! 

I am back here searching for a new CPA in the Orlando or central Florida area. I am a real estate agent, real estate investor, and also work in television production. I would need a CPA with experience handling filing for multiple businesses and one who can offer tax planning and strategies. It's a huge plus if they have also worked with clients in the broadcast television industry - not every accountant is familiar with that field and how to strategize write-offs, etc. 

My current CPA got a promotion and is no longer serving in the same role. :( I'm not happy with the new structure that the company has - they are growing to be a big firm giving me less and less access to direct communication with their accounting team. I'm looking to build a business relationship with my CPA, one who I can trust and work well with as I grow my businesses. I'm not opposed to a bigger company but I would like to be able to communicate directly with my CPA and not have a middle man. 

(A few of you have DM'd in the past - I'll be reaching out to you as well!)

Thank you in advance for your recommendations!

-Abby

Hey everybody! 

I am reaching out to get connected to some attorneys in Florida (preferably in the Orlando area) specifically who have experience drafting mortgages for owner financing deals. I am working with a seller who is open to owner financing and want to get her connected to an attorney! 

Thank you in advance!

Quote from @Deborah Wodell:

It’s exciting to hear you’re diving into commercial deals—there’s definitely a lot of opportunity there. Since it’s your first commercial transaction, I’d recommend starting by understanding your buyer’s financials, investment goals, and the property’s income potential. This will help determine the best funding route. 

Great notes! Thank you so much for the advice! I will gladly take all the info you're willing to provide from those more experienced.

This is where local credit unions excel, in my experience. I recently closed a deal with Achieva Credit Union in Fort Myers, FL. 

I’m not sure if they operate in that area but definitely worth checking with them or a similar credit union

Great note! Thank you so much!

Hi Abby, I'm right down I4 in the Tampa area and I've done tons of commercial deals in the Orlando area...both with banks and with our company over a 30+ year career. I would certianly need to know more, but we do both SBA and more "bank style" lending. Most everyone's SBA lending is similar (7(a), 504), but we'll do up to 30 year amortizations with no balloon, credit scores to 620, and debt services to 1.0X (not DSCR the way they calculate rental loans, but the way banks calculate it. Tell me more! Doug

Hey Doug! 
Thank you so much for the info. I love that you're local. Going to send you a private message.

Hello!

I am a real estate agent and investor in Orlando, FL. I have a buyer looking at purchasing a commercial building and I'm investigating their options for commercial funding available (either via private funding or commercial loans). I've never done a commercial deal before so I'm open to advice, lender contacts, etc. Here to learn and network!

 Can you elaborate a little more on the type of commercial building - office, retail, medical office, mixed?  Thats going to drive a lot of the options here


 Hey Robin! 

They are currently considering two buildings. One is being used as a church/special purpose building. The 2nd they are considering is a retail/mixed use building. They are looking for a location to convert to a private school. Thanks for reaching out!


 This is definitely going to be a bit tricky - have you reached out to someone at Velocity Commercial Capital?  They might be able to help (rate will be very high for your client though)


 I have not! I will look them up now and reach out. I'm looking for all possible options at this point and truly appreciate any leads for potential lenders!
