* A bonus play would be purchasing a small commercial property with at least a 25 space lot in the aforementioned areas; the idea is to convert the lot into paid parking to increase value.   

Thinking to offer seller financing to increase interest in the property and I like some of the advantages of seller financing.

The property types I'm most interested in are: Small (2-4 plex) and Large Multifamily. 

You can often secure a loan based on the property's value rather than your financials, making it easier to get approval quickly and move on deals like the one you found.Using private money can help you fund the purchase and the rehab costs without tapping into your home equity or savings, which gives you more breathing room and allows you to focus on the project.If you’re interested, I’d be happy to walk you through how private money lending works and how it could help with your current deal.

I now have to have the entire property tested.

I've been buying and holding for SFH's rentals for 15+ years, but my goals now are Cash flow (70%) and Appreciation/Equity (30%) so I can invest faster/grow more in shorter periods of time.I ran this: View report on BP as a really rough test for investing in this property (3-plex, but also offers an attached 3-plex for consideration). 

Commercial Property Advisors Funding?  

I also get a lot of calls from the yard sign in the front yard of the rental property I’m listing. 

What type of properties do you target?

Definitely hire one for a property damage claim, auto claims its not necessary.
