I recommend talking with an experienced broker who can help you shop multiple lenders  

Brokers will be eager to add you as a new agent to their office.

Furthermore, if you are working on refinancing sixth and investment properties at once, I would put all my focus and energy on working with one lender or one broker who can get you the best terms for cheaper cost all your business to one place typically when I see folks do they save a bit on processing these and origination fees.

Currently, we are targeting multifamily properties of 100+ units, and have been actively engaging with various owners and brokers, submitting Letters of Intent (LOIs) and working to secure deals.While some may consider our approach bold for new investors, we are confident that, with the right team and expertise, we can succeed in achieving our objectives.I’m excited to be part of this community and look forward to learning from your collective experience.

I'm a local real estate broker working in the Cincinnati and Dayton Markets.

Are you using a mortgage broker?  

I think the borrower is better off trying a local bank or broker in that area.

But the answer for everyone may differ.Here are the personal attributes I see in those able to achieve a higher than market ROI, enough higher to be able to “scale”.1- Knowledge of real estate principles, real estate law and real estate finance2- Minimum 3 -5 years full time, or near full time experience directly related to real estate investing3- Ability to utilize technology for increased efficiency, capacity, and accuracy4- Excellent hired legal counsel and excellent hired marketing help5- Established method(s) of obtaining consistently high QUALITY deal flow6- Ability to manage and choose people who are NOT employees: Attorneys, Appraisers, Mortgage Brokers, Real Estate Brokers, Title Companies, Surveyors, Marketing Specialists, Accountants, Contractors, Consultants, Property Managers7- A VERIFIABLE track record of success8- Ability to identify, analyze, and negotiate a deal that can be “worked” for “enhanced” ROI9- Some type of competitive advantage; for example for me it’s my ability to analyze and identify mortgage loans that are actually less risky than all other lenders believe (on the investing in debt side), and on the real property side it’s my ability to analyze”pull the trigger” with LESS information than other investors need,  combined with the ability to pay cash, or raise significant capital almost instantly as well as being able to obtain loans at the lowest prime customer bank rate with no recourse or personal liability.  

Until you see the property in person the numbers are completely meaningless unless you have a working relationship with that listing broker for years.

A few months back, a fellow broker brought me a pocket listing for a newly built and stabilized 32 unit apartment complex.
