You have left out a lot of pertinent information so I will offer a generic perspective.

If you don't already have a realtor on your team, you could let the listing agents submit for you.

We are not seeking investors at this time but will be reaching out to the local investment community after we build out our teams and are set up.

That is so awesome that you guys work as a team!

I know without this "dream team", success is far from reach.

I can give you a generic one and hopefully that is helpful.

I am not an experienced real estate agent or broker but I do have both on my team.

The biggest reason is cash-flow.I am not an expert on commercial lending, but I have been around long enough to know you need the right people on your team to get these things done in the best way for you.In Canada I am 99% sure that anything over a four plex is considered a commercial building.The other reason for looking at other lenders is the 2 years of experience.

Hi team, I realize this is a much older post, but do you all have any updates?

Multi-family units are the way to go as the rental market is very strong here as is the job growth.Realtors are an essential part of your team, but be very cautious and remember how they get paid!
