Finally, my team came from a variety of places.

There are a variety of things to consider.

But you’ll find a variety of every type of investor on the site, and everyone is amazingly helpful.

There are a variety of things I could do....but I'm not sure what is best.  

As Jason points out, for 5-unit + purchase you'd need a commercial loan (vs. conventional), and so you could expect higher rates and probably not the fixed 30 year variety, and this could further hinder your cash flow.

There are also some multi-level marketing companies out there that offer a variety of utility type services as well.
