You might want to get in touch with @Andrew Freed and Jonathan Bombaci, they are locked into several of the MA meetups which are great ways to connect with other investors in real life.

If you're interested in connecting with local investors or discussing multifamily investments, feel free to let me know.

Additionally, if there are any contractors in the Fort Lauderdale area who can provide an estimate or guidance on this type of conversion, I’d really appreciate the connection!

I am looking forward to learning and making connections. 

DSCR lenders are much more flexible with income requirements and don’t require W-2s or tax returns.I’d be happy to connect and chat more if you’re interested!

Then connect with some hard money lenders (you can find some here on BP as well as some who are typing this right now) and connect with them to understand their product type, what they like to lend on and requirements.Hard money broker is all numbers game of making relationships and helping those that are looking for financing, it starts out slow but if you get with a few good borrowers and lenders it can be pretty decent money to be made.As an example we paid six figures last year to HM brokers. 

Looking forward to connecting and learning!  

If interested in adding another state / city to the list I am happy to connect - but hopefully this is irrelevant and you are already progressing along well with your purchase!!!!  

Always happy to connect and learn from others working in this market.Looking forward to hearing what you think!

I'd also like to invite you to join THE MTR Connect, a group I host that meets virtually every Friday from noon - 1:30pm EST.
