To me real estate is always a numbers game, you can do just about any thing including forwarding brokers email blasts to people, I have never tried that but I as a wild guess I would say you would need to forward 100,000 to 1 million, and with those kind of numbers you could hit a person who was happy enough you did it to send you a finders fee. 

I am doing a $750k raise on a $2.9 million medical office building.

So you sell a 2 Million dollar multi, which would be about 60k in commissions.

The increase of prices and talks of strict regulations make these areas not so much attractive to me after learning about them.

It's funny to look at the states and see that those that aren't attractive are only gaining immigrants from neighboring states

That way you can cross-collateralize the equity and even get a cash out in certain cases and finance the new acquisition while keeping LTV low to attract better rates.

I'm hoping some of you can share some insight on the importance of certain amenities for attracting and keeping tenants such as:-An enclosed garage-Air conditioning-Radiant or central heat-1 vs 1.5 bathroomsWhich are considered a must-have, nice-to-have, or are irrelevant?  

Currently we are looking at properties between $10-$15 million (100 to 200 units). 

Wow, it sounds like you guys stumbled into quite a mess :-/  Trying to lower your rates seems very attractive, but I have a hard time recommending rolling consumer debt into a 30 year loan... 

I'm look for a 5 - 10 unit multifamily in a B or C+ neighborhood, that attract a good pool of tenants.
