This deal will be financed by equity and debt investments including angel, venture, family office, and limited partnerships.How did you add value to the deal?

Your best bet is to network at a local REIA and find a good private lender or other investors who will do a joint venture deal with you. 

Building relationships with experienced wholesalers can also open doors to joint ventures and off-market deals, giving you a head start in the industry.

Additionally, national lenders like Chase and Wells Fargo have strong multi-family loan programs that cater to out-of-state investors.Scaling OwnershipGiven your available cash and equity, here are a few strategies to consider:Leverage Existing Equity: Utilize the equity in your current properties through a cash-out refinance or HELOC to increase your purchasing power.Partnering with Other Investors: Consider syndications or joint ventures, which can help you scale more quickly without using all your own capital.Diversify Markets: While the Midwest is great, keep an eye on emerging markets across the country that may offer similar benefits.Focus on Value-Add Opportunities: Look for properties where you can increase value through renovations or improved management.I specialize in selling new construction duplexes in downtown Indianapolis, and I’ve found that multi-family properties here provide strong returns.

We are in a business/ venture that requires more customers, not less to charge more.

I would even venture to guess that it is not a simple letter to the lender or trade that gets a lien release.   

Yes, in the end you have to decide whether it's a for profit venture or not, but there are all sorts of ways to mitigate what is an unfortunate thing to have to do as I mentioned in my first post.

I would venture to say that a few hundred dollars for some advice could save you thousands. 

I hope to make more connections there to either lend or venture into the PMP space. 

@Jason DiClemente  and since your asking on this forum my guess this is a new venture for you.
