I'm an asset-based (hard money) lender from Atlanta with an extensive 15-yr background in residential and commercial real estate looking to learn more from the BP community and how I can help those that need investment financing. 

I'd also love to connect with you all.And if you are already investing in commercial multifamily, what is your own investment criteria?

If you have no experience in commercial real estate, much less mobile home park management, this is an intricate business not well-suited for out-of-state when you are getting started.

Luckily mine was zoned commercial and so the regulation didn't effect me and actually helped as it greatly reduced the supply in the market. 

They do local meetups but you can at least gain access to true off market properties as apposed to using wholesalers.

The plan is notorious for minimum insurance and they were previously capped at $20M for larger commercial and HOA properties.

The more experienced investors with more capital are buying apartment complexes and doing syndications (one asked me if I wanted to participate...I passed) in San Antonio or doing commercial RE. 

Some commercial lenders I've worked with have required the buyer to wet sign in the State, so they've had to fly in for the closing.

My wife and I are new investors transitioning into Commercial Real Estate, with a focus on multifamily properties.

Have about 50k I would invest (access to more), with excellent credit and good income too, from my full time job.
