I would say you should start off by just meeting multi-family investor-friendly agents who can help get you started with 5 units search and work on finding you off-market ones as well Thanks Kerlous!

If I would start over, I would look to join a high producing team and learn everything  possible.

Melisa Justice, and she helped me navigate the entire Journey, it was a process not too long, it took about a month, and the process would have been definitely very hard being that I was on a different state by Melissa made it a lot smother, she was very responsive to all my questions (and I had a lot of questions), she helped me find a lender that would fit better for my financial situation, once I was pre-approved she connected me with the right property inspectors, and all through out the process she kept in touch pointing me the right direction all the way until closing day, all this to say I Definitely recommend her for any body the is finally ready to take the plunge and get started with their real estate carrier, I definitely will get in touch with her when I'm ready to buy my next property!

I am similar to @Benjamin Jones just getting started and looking how to set things up?
