Personal criteria, building criteria and area criteria will all affect the way a deal appears on paper. two 100 unit apartment complexes, one in an A area and one in a C+ area will have very different financial breakdowns and interest groups.Want to know if a deal is good (for you)?

If you have the sellers, the buyers will start reaching out - it likely wont work for some of them and then you can ask what they are looking for and build relationships that way.

I'm doing a refi on a multi-family building right now with a lender I found here on the BiggerPockets Lender Finder - https://www.biggerpockets.com/business/finder/lenders They've been able to help me get a DSCR loan which others on this post have mentioned and they've been pretty quick should be able to close before the new year in less than 3 weeks from when I started the process!

I'm still in the process of growing my portfolio, but have heard others 1031 all their smaller properties into a larger building and have a property management company manage, OR, set up a seller financing deal with another buyer that gives you the cash flow you desire. 

Given that my unit is sandwiched between two others, could this be a structural issue affecting the whole building?

Go to BUILD YOUR TEAM at the top of the screen and look for local investors or meetups in your area.

And will you have ongoing maintenance issues beyond your CapEx based on the building's age.I personally would be suspect of this deal.

If you like stocks and don't have a lot of interest in building a portfolio in MN there's no point in keeping.

Its not as easy but once you are up in running you are building a brand, equity in your business, and also constant flow of leads.

Today, I used those proceeds to purchase a 5-unit commercial retail building without coming out of pocket at all.
