Looking to finance a 2-4 multifamily property to purchase near West Palm Beach, FL (or within a 30-45 min drive).Been looking on MLS, Crexi, Loopnet, etc. but either the properties aren't good (too expensive) or the people don't respond.

The after auction bid process may have given you time to do a good property inspection ... or maybe you live in the property now.Sorry you're in this situation!

Schools in the area are all right, not the best but good enough.Is the rental market strong in this area?

Otherwise you would take title to the new property as two LLCs with one of you as the single member of each.You've got a very good scenario to get some of the proceeds tax free and defer the tax on the rest. 

Rates on a DSCR are in the high 6s if you have a good credit score and experience.

what will be a good place to find such a partner?

Good luck!

Then whenever a good opportunity arises, you can simply write a check out of your credit line and purchase in cash.

I use travelers for almost all my STR policies. pretty solid insurance and good price

I'm honestly surprised, right now our only debt payment is a 857 mortgage, no car payment no student loans no credit card debt, and good credit 740's. she doesn't make just a lot (41k a year) but with the 857 mortage payment, her debt to income shouldn't be much over 25%.
