Hi Isabella, You may reach out to a mortgage broker in your area that’s experienced with investment property.

But 3) Try multifamily specific brokers, crexi and loopnet, although 2-4 units maybe scarce. 4) A home equity line of credit is a good source of funds however it will generally make your overall monthly payments higher, so unless a deal is very solidly cashflowing, a HELOC may put you into negative cashflow. 7) Typically electric/gas are paid by the tenant - however this isn't true across the board. 

@Jay Hinrichs how about one stop shopping at Costco.My other thought is that RE brokers should not cooperate with other brokers but sell their own listings for 3% and handle the financing.

I know I can reach out to some mortgage brokers to connect me with a private lender for most of the mortgage and then I would just need another lender to supply the down payment and renovation money.

hi @Alvin TaverasMortgage Broker here, i've been referring clients out to Credit Unions for their HELOCs. we have a handful of lenders that can do them, but i'm finding the juice is not worth the squeeze in the broker/ wholesale world.

I analyzed over 20 markets and picked three so there are a lots of markets to choose from.Start networking on bigger pockets as well as attend local meetups and REIs to find referrals for GC, PM, broker, TKP, lender, property inspector etc.

@Robert SandovalHave you looked into the rules and laws in CA for what requires a broker's license? 

I'm a real estate finance broker and love talking real estate leverage!

For sfh, duplexes and smaller properties its 100% to the broker.
