Private equity firms seem to favor larger operations with scalable systems, while smaller mom-and-pop firms are often acquired by local players or regional operators looking to expand their footprint.If you’re looking for actionable intel, reaching out to brokers specializing in the sale of PM firms could provide useful leads.

Does anyone represent a wholesale lender or is a broker that knows of a lender who finances commercial (multifamily) properties that operate as AIRBNBs?

Many of the businesses I sell as a Business Broker lease the real estate. 

Hi, I do industrial in North Texas as the PM and broker.

I’ve built relationships with brokers who specialize in Harlem, and one of them brought this off-market deal to my attention.

I'd look for mortgage brokers in Canada. 

I have family in Houston, Dallas, and the Valley, I was networking with brokers in San Antonio, but the Taxes seem to be quite high as well in that State, although much favorable laws/regs on the landlord side.

They try to act like a servicer and broker at the same time (these are not owner-occupied so not as much red tape) but in reality, they are just a broker that pairs a borrower/flipper/landlord with a lender. 

@Brandon Stelling I would recommend reaching out and connecting with various commercial brokers who specialize in each of these spaces.

Check with your broker and make sure this fits with your local laws.
