I live in Oregon, but invest in Arizona. 

Quote from @Laurens Van swol: We are exploring the possibility of purchasing an investment property in Florida.

Looking to invest in long term hold multifamily.

I'm interested in learning about rental property investment, looking to build a rental portfolio, exploring real estate investing to replace my income.

With investment properties, most lenders I work with prefer to have an address to work with in order to provide a "soft" quote, which does not include a hit to your credit.

That means your GP team needs a minimum of $300K to invest, more if you buy a bigger or nicer propertyFWIW, SOFR is not a loan you can get.

I am wondering if anyone invests in this area can provide me with some referrals?

Metro Atlanta, generally speaking, respective markets 30 to 45 minutes from the City, will be tight on cash flow unless you implement a creative investment strategy, such as short-term rentals, medium-term rentals, or rent-by-the-room properties, or allocate at least 30% to 35% towards your downpayment if you intend to hold the property as a long-term rental. 

Best advice is to partner with someone who specializes in investment properties in the Austin area.

You are investing for return on capital.
