You can work with a local credit union that does HELOCs, Home Equity Lines of Credit or Loans, on investment property.

I'm more familiar with the residential side of RE, being part of many remodels and home projects, but would like to have expertise in both commercial and residential.

I'm Diane :) By day I'm an executive assistant to c-suite execs, by night I run my own virtual assistance business, and 24/7 I think about investing in multifamily homes.

Once we had the home inspection I was able to have the seller credit us at closing $8k...of which the escrow could not credit the entire amount and so I had the seller write up a personal check for $2000 How did you finance this deal?

@Rami Refaeli I am on the Fort Worth side of the metroplex but the company I work for is based in North Dallas.

Additionally I have multiple prospects very close to my existing home that have not been remodeled since construction in the late 1970's.  

@Danth Aman I'm assuming you're doing a general home inspection?

I understand it can be harder to gain experience with larger multifamily properties compared to single-family homes or duplexes, where someone might complete 5 deals in 1-2 years.
