Ashley,
Network with local Host groups (Facebook) and with folks here on BP.  Build a core group of relationships that you can learn from.

Andrew,
Definitely shop around.  There's enough "meat on the bone" on this deal to draw competitive interest from several lenders.

Chris,
Start looking around locally. See if you market has a chapter of REIA (Real Estate Investors Association). Check in with your local Chamber of Commerce and ask about real estate groups or mentors. Look locally for established real estate agents that specialize in investment portfolios.
My 2 cents,

Mike
