If I'm in your shoes (which I was a few years ago) I would recommend attending at least 1-2 real estate meetups a month to start putting yourself out there and networking with other players in your market. 

It is not true that they exited from MF offerings before the downturn and quickly pivoted to an equity/lending fund.

Otherwise, bite the bullet and pay the real players in this area for what they provide (Buildium, Appfolio, RentManager, etc).

Once you befriend one of these big players, ask who they use.

Collin I did a whole slide deck presentation to a few reias back in about 2019 calling it the pivot I thought we were going to see the 10 year cycle start to level off and things slow..

I hear a lot about standard personal loans, mortgages, etc - but do banks or smaller players consider situations like the above?

But I have been looking into splitting the duplex into two condos (yes I know it is a lot of work) and I could probably get 325-350k for each, netting me 650-700k.Number:* Mortgage interest 2.5%* Mortgage principle 240k* PITI $2100/month* Rent 2200/month (current tenant on a two year lease)* Potential rent on my side $2400/month * 100k HELOC at 11% (fixed) (not currently being used)* est additional cost to split the dueplex 75-100k (conservative, probably less)     *new siding 30k (just put on a new roof this year)     *legal 10-15k     *fire proofing 15k     * 15-40k for stuff I am not aware of or underestimated on* some of the appreciation is external from the home     *big grocery store put in 3min away     * newly paved road in front of my house     *a building that was falling down across the street has been torn down          * Still a vacant lot with the foundation exposed and fencing around it (so more local improvements are on the way)Part of me wants to take the money and run but man I love that 2.5% interest rate and the $2000/month cash flow (including taxes and capx)I have thought about 1031 exchanging into more rentals, but I would like to pivot into storage units.

I can at minimum, provide insight into certain markets/ball players to connect with based on your strategy. 

Actually I would still be interested in investing in Tarragona, I just pivoted to domestic investing for the time being, especially since covid halted any of my travel plans for the past year.

Vacasa and Evolve are two of the major players that could have an opportunity in that area for you to be boots on the ground.
