I'd love to connect with and potentially partner with locals who are familiar with the market/demographics and can speak to actual experience in the marketplace: Would appreciate connecting and mentioning people below you'd recommend I speak with. 1) Investor friendly brokers/agents2) Investors/Landlords 3) Property Management Companies4) Local contractors Acquisition Criteria: This change per market but my general guideline is the following:1) +5 Units 2) Class B/C- / Value- Add 3) Up to $10M 4) Cash Flow Positive I really appreciate everyone’s input and assistance.

@Karl B. is right.

Some B lenders accept borrowed down payment from an unsecured source. 

@Karl B.

Purchase price: $2,900,000 Cash invested: $100,000 39 unit, B-Class asset in downtown Spartanburg which is dominated by A-Class multifamily units.

@Scott Mac@Karl B.

Are you ok house hacking an A/B class property that doesn’t cash flow but where you can keep your monthly housing expense about the same but where you build equity, get tax savings, and where you will see future appreciation and increased rents?

I just mentioned the first: it's a down payment for Home B but secured by Home A.
