Hi Everyone - I've been reading through this site to try an absorb as much advice, lessons, and financing information as possible, but haven't found any answers for my exact question.I'm interested in finding hard money lenders to finance larger down-payments on multi-family units (loans of 60K or less).

I have a solid rental portfolio of houses here in Austin, but the cashflow is minimal compared to what I can get in multi-family or in the mid west. additionally, I'm looking at purchasing non-performing notes and turning any of the foreclosed properties into rentals.Are there any strategies for selling off the houses, either in bulk or individually, to minimize the tax burden for when I reuse that capital to purchase non-performing notes?

I'm prepared to look elsewhere if I have to: inland empire, high desert, central valley...4-unit or fewer multi-family appears to be a good fit.

Mainly looking for flips and multi-family rental opportunities. 

I have one multi unit that I have had for approximately 3 years.

I am not (currently) interested in flipping, wholesaling, or investing out of state.At this point I'm primarily interested in owner-occupied multi-family properties in the Arlington/Belmont area, as well as potential investment opportunities in East Boston/Chelsea.Please don't hesitate to reach out or introduce yourself if we share some common interests!

Build relationships with multi-family property owners and real estate professionals in your area.  

Property taxes pay for the school system her in NJ.   

( sewer line replacement , heating system failure, etc )  you need to have funds available before problems happen 

We don't have a proven system that has worked, and could serve as our foundation.The biggest thing we have agreed we needed is to implement a great system / model.
