You should put together a financial overview of all of your assets (liquid and property + business, cars, etc.) and approach a couple of these lenders in this post:http://www.biggerpockets.com/hardmoneylenders/oregonIt would be wise to get together a Personal Financial Statement with all supporting documents (bank statements, notes, FF&E, etc) ahead of time before approaching any more lenders.

If I apply the cash flow on each of these as I did the first, then they should all be paid off about 16 years ahead of schedule.

I set 10x my goals so I can do more as if that is the actual goal so even if I come up short I'm still ahead of the game .i want to have 100 multi family apartments by next year.

If you have to ask that question, you have no clue to the pitfalls that lie ahead. 

You're on the right path though, thinking ahead and getting your systems set up right from the start is really smart, it will save you a ton of headache in the long run!
