Be sure to set up your key word alerts, those help a lot for keeping you up to date on your region and the topics you are interested in. 

@Courtney JonesI think your best bet is to narrow down on regions from home.

I'm from Wilmington, Delaware currently but work in the Philadelphia region and outside in the counties.

We're about half way there.After you have ten properties financed in your name, you are looking at local/ regional banks for commercial loans and portfolio loans.

He has a resident manager at each complex, a regional manager overseeing the resident managers.

@Troy Fisher, @Tiffany Plovie, @Kevin Carbon run the local meet-ups for the Eastside, Seattle, and Tacoma-Lakewood respectively.Since you've already started to focus in on rental properties in the Puget Sound region, I would recommend you start looking into budgeting.

well, in our area, for anything over 8-9%, you're going to do some significant value add or take some pretty good tenant risk (work), so it will ultimately depend on the area/region you focus.

You can find commercial lenders if you call around and talk to some smaller/regional banks.
