If you're looking for properties less than 50 units, you'll have a lot of success with calling owners directly. 

You could buy a duplex and now you are a direct multifamily investor.  

Would you like me to message them directly for you?

That’ll give you flexibility to automate and integrate workflows as your needs evolve.A direct booking site is a nice-to-have down the line if you want to save on platform fees and build a brand, but starting with platforms like Furnished Finder or VRBO is a solid way to keep things simple while you’re getting started.Good luck—sounds like you’re on the right track!

When the market was slower we even worked directly with the REO bank for the properties and soem of them would do portfolio loans on their own assets. 

Are you primarily B2B (contracting directly with companies/agencies) or B2C (leasing to individuals/or Airbnb)?

You can also go straight to the source - Direct DSCR Lenders - don't necessarily need a mortgage broker to shop for you (especially if you are here and asking the right questions and clearly are sophisticated - unless you are SUper-strapped for time, you don't seem like an investor that needs to pay a broker for help - go straight to the lender)3) Last question- i'm seeing rates on DSCR loans in the 7.2% to 7.5% range, in addition to 1 to 2 points and they likely track 10 yr treasuries (4.26% as of today).

Are you comfortable reaching out directly to banks/credit unions?

I have seen it happen maybe 5 times over the years and directly involved in 2  .. the one I mentioned that I bought the first after the second was bought and another were I was bidding but got out bid B/C other bidder did not know about the first.In the its a Small World category..

There are a lot of Denver investors who should be able to weigh in directly here.
