I've been a commercial mortgage broker going on 5 years now and, after working on financing numerous commercial real estate and multifamily transactions, have decided to start investing in my own property on the side.I'm currently interested in acquiring 5-16 unit properties that cash flow and have value-add upside in high job growth markets, but I am also learning more about SFH investing and am open to exploring residential opportunities as well.
