Our business real estate coach has also shared that the entire US is like that in almost all the markets.This is the first time this has happened to me.What are the recommendations?

Does anyone have recommendations?

He wanted the appraisal to be high for a loan.The county had a much higher valuation.He went with the appraisal and his charm.They accepted the appraised value and adjusted the tax bill.

The ceiling height might not be high enough.  

The building is right next to a high school in a small, upstate city.

Hello Pat,When seeking someone to partner with on this, I'd recommend sharing how much you plan on investing into the deal yourself.

Ask them to recommend or send their crew over.  

However, if you plan to rehab at all, you will then need a licensed contractor to provide bids on each project you plan to rehab.You will then be asked to provide a proof of any funds to close, purchase agreements, and if closing as an LLC - most times documentation on that LLC.Overall, the larger number of units (5+) makes the lending process based more off the property than the borrower, contrary to traditional single family housing.I would recommend you work with a Loan Originator/Broker who will be the medium for you to the lender/s.

Asking for help is not necessarily one of my strong points, however I truly believe in the knowledge that exists within this forum, and I would highly value any and all mentorship that may be available to help get me going in the right direction. 

In the old days, I would advertise in the Fresno Bee, and in the local freebee advertising rag.Nowadays, everything seems to be going online.
