That might be another option.PTPs have unique tax treatment regarding passive losses. 

Everyone's finances are unique, and are case by case in the lending and underwriting process.As for good easy platforms, I would suggest trulia for limiting it to multifamily right out of the search drop down, and switching to map view.

@Tyler Roberts sure here's a piece of guidance; be more specific, take more action, offer more value.Figure out what are of real estate you want to be involved in, find people operating in that space that you admire and would like to learn from, and figure out what unique value you can bring to them and offer than in exchange for guidance / mentorship.Your post is very vague and you probably won't get many investors jumping into your DMs to help you out based on this alone.

Everyone has their own objective and strategy and what's important to them.

Basically you have to do a mini probate, then have all potential heirs sign a 'no objection' letter and THEN you have to sign to pay all costs the title insurance agency may have now and forever in the future if there is litigation. 

Just try to stay neutral while having some elements that make your property somewhat unique.

We are refi-ing the properties as portfolio too which gives us some unique rate benefits.

The unique thing in this situation is that our tenants were currently in the processing of purchasing a different home, but they're hoping to get out of that since the builders are being very difficult and pushing things longer than originally planned.
