As a first time investor looking to make the first purchase on a multifamily home in and around the city of Columbus, OH, within the next 2-3 months, I wanted to ensure I have all the information I need to be able to quickly and efficiently analyze and decide on a property worth investing into.

What are other high net worth individuals paying in broker commissions these days, for high value properties?  

Is the bang worth the buck ? 

House is worth 260k and we owe 200k on it.

DSCR loans are based off of down payment, credit score and either actual or market rents so it helps to supercharge an investor's real estate goals and net worth. 

(Except something like 1/2 of a duplex where the rental 1/2 is worth as much as your exchange.).

Ideally was thinking a duplex, triplex, or quadplex to get started and use an FHA loan but I also have a private lender that can possibly help with up to $200k worth of a down payment.

HELOC on the TH you're living in sounds the most doable (banks have more appetite to lend when it's owner occupied).Two cents - HELOCs can be great, but it is still debt and you'll want to make sure your base case expected return makes the juice worth the squeeze.

I do have a fairly high percentage of my net worth (35%) in the PPR fund.
