Some of the ways to find properties include but not limited to:1) You can add loopnet to your list as a source as sometimes smaller multi-families are listed there as well. 2) Direct mailing campaigns to the owners3) Networking at local REI groups4) Through wholesalers but they mostly concentrate on SFH5) Partnering up with someone who has access to properties but no funding (if you can offer funding)

Most commercial loans (non owner occupant or for any MFR larger than a 4-plex) require at least 25% down.

We’re hoping to access some more of the money for d/p of future deals.
