Hello,I am a Software Engineer and a Real Estate Investor working on a tech product for the real estate mortgage brokers.

You should always talk to a mortgage broker or bank first to find how much you qualify for before starting the investor journey.

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

He is a direct lender, not middleman broker fees. 

With the limited access in Yardi, you won't be able to adjust account trees and create multiple customized financial statements. 

You are basically a retail customer at that point.

I've been a land broker in Southern California for sixteen years. 

Our last deal we engaged a mortgage broker that also brought a Private Equity LP (Limited Partner) to the deal. 

We have a RE attorney & mortgage broker to make sure our operation is legal & compliant.
