I’m new to real estate investing in both multi-family & commercial real estate.

What documents do they require, what credit scores do they allow, how do they verify previous rental history, etc.?

I've already done quite a bit of research in my area and can already pretty much tell you what a property is worth or at least generally what it will sell for as I spend about 3 hours a day looking at properties and have been doing that for about a year to make sure I'm prepared on the accuracy side of things.I do have a family member that is a real estate agent in the area, but I'm not sure if a standard single family residential agent is the correct connection for multifamily.
