My brokerage doesn't do property management, so we recommend Rachel Bruno with Re/Max Unlimited to our clients. 

So, you will be going to CBRE, Marcus and Millichap, Cushman, Colliers, and likely some local brokerage websites to find various listings.  

So once you get to 5 units, most investors end up on the commercial mortgage side of a bank.And as he notes, from a brokerage standpoint, in my market, I see most 8 units or less exclusively on the MLS.  8-20ish units are a mix of MLS and Loopnet/Brokerage sites.  20+ units are almost exclusively listed by brokers that specialize in multi-family and you will not see their names on yard signs anywhere.  

Are there brokerage services who guide first timers through the process?

Did you decide which brokerage your are going to sign up with?

I don't allow wholesaling at my brokerage.

Mom and pop NY brokerages would be a better option, but they will have no training or systems, but will hold your license while you look.

Self-directed IRAs are more popular because they allow investors to invest in a wider range of assets, such as real estate investment funds.Traditionally, brokerages do not allow investors to invest money in non-traditional investment possibilities from a Roth IRA, Traditional IRA, or 401K.

So it is more than just a brokerage.

I was wondering if anyone knew of a real estate brokerage company that is investor friendly in the Phx area?
