Use a realtor to pull comps for you unless you have access to the MLS system.

Have been doing some initial research into Multi-family, buy-and-hold, (>,=2 units) in the Chicagoland area (mainly western suburbs, Brookfield, LaGrange, Downers Grove, Wheaton, and the like) and found some units with potential.Here's my current question:I've found a property that I believe has some potential.

If the carrier does not directly offer a multi-pay plan, there are various premium finance companies that will generally allow for payments to be spread out.

I'm looking to start investing in pueblo Multi family homes for buy and hold rental income. 

It's currently zoned a sfh and I want/have to get the property zoned to multi-unit.

On the commercial retail side when a client is selling a multi million property at a 6 tor 7 cap rate you better believe they have impeccable records.  

I'm from Mississippi and very interested in multi family investing.

The great thing about either marketing system is that they give you a prospective seller's phone number.

If this is a multi, do some ad value work.
