Every contact I needed for insurance, mortgage and cleaners were done online, mostly through connections from BP. 

I have some practical questions:1) How often do you clean the common areas?

I’m still working on figuring out the best strategies and practices, and I’d love to hear from others who have been through similar experiences or have advice to share.Looking forward to connecting!

From my experience, to succeed in multifamily investing, focus on networking through local meetups, online forums, and professional connections, leveraging your CPA skills to analyze deals and optimize deductions.

Here, once you have an account and a bit of lending experience, you can access the online, fill-in-the-blank templates to create your own set of documents. 

Start with your primary, rent out any spare bedrooms "house hack"Use that to practice upgrades, kitchen, bathroom, curb appeal... etcNow you have experience as a landlord and flipper, use that to buy a distressed propertyAdd 40% equity to the property through home makeover, refinance into a low cost mortgageNow you are cashflowing a healthy margin on a second property, use that to build equity over time, cashout later and buy your duplex/quad.If it's going to take you 10 years to save up a down payment for a small apartment building, yeah it makes more sense to start growing your portfolio with cheap SFR flips instead.Every market is different, every borrower is different, every property is different, it would be ill-advised to recommend anything without recognizing the individual's nuanced goals and objectives with their next acquisition.

I contacted that agency this week online & got a response they are not writing commercial properties now. 

So here is what I do:1 - Get buyer criteria for what they are looking for (exact criteria)2 - Go source that criteria using data provider3 - Scrub the list and plan a marketing campaign around it (i.e) > Direct Mail > Cold Call > SMS > Online Ads > Social Media, etc4 - Once I get inbound leads coming in.

Alternatively, there are high-yield online savings accounts like Marcus or others - the difference is that banks have some inherent risk, thus the FDIC insurance.
