@Carlos Casanueva I do not have a good software program to recommend but I would focus on building relationships with local brokerage and owners to find off market deals in multifamily.  These deals will present themselves more frequently based on your ability to close.  The better your ability to execute, the more likely brokers and owners will approach you first with off market deals.

@Byron Bailey I would look to intern with a real estate law firm and put your law degree into action.  Real estate attorneys help minimize risks, maximize returns, advise on property taxes, understand tenant rights, implications of lease agreements, etc., etc.  Understanding the legal components of real estate transactions will give you an edge on your competitors.

@Cameron Engstrom 

Getting started is the hardest part!

1. Determine a strategy on which to focus.

2. Understand how the strategy works

3. Build relationships in the local market with investors who are executing the strategy. (Attend meetups, BP, etc)

4. Once you understand the fundamentals of the approach, you will be able to understand where you can bring value to a deal and what you need to execute the deal. 

At the outset, you have identified that you need capital to get started.  If you learn how to identify opportunities, explain why it's a good opportunity and sell your ability to execute the strategy, you will be able to attract partners to invest in your deal.

@Matt N.  Both of these groups have a strong track record selling multifamily nationwide.

@Justin Young  I would continue to build your network of investors to grow your business with you.  If you don't have investors, then you have a personal loan.  A personal loan is due every month regardless of the performance of your property.  Working with investors allows you to share the risk and the reward.
