They should be able to give you a second opinion, which will be more focused on structural integrity and code standards. 

I focus on small MF buildings (5-50 units) and the standard loan for these assets is something like a 5/20 or 5/25 with 70% LTV at an X% rate. 

Decide how much money you have access to, & the zip codes, city or state you want to focus on.

For me, as an old guy my interests have become far more conservative, and return focused; but I still want it to be fun!

I am focused on management vs. acquisition since it is just getting beyond ridiculous in Minneapolis and I don’t personally have the excess cash to jump in.

I'm focusing in the El Paso area but may be expanding to Austin and San Antonio in a few years.

That will help you determine which path you really want to begin, then you can focus on learning more about it.

I would also highly recommend doing some more multifamily specific research - some good resources are @Michael Blank and Joe Fairless' websites:http://www.themichaelblank.com/ (more of a focus on raising money, which it doesn't sound like you're trying to do?)
