I will have to inquire there as it is a larger city.

If so,  you open yourself up to a larger pool of candidates.

If more larger multifam, commercial properties, commercial brokers will be able to help, as will costar.Zillow is not bad, but don't use the zestimate. 

Transwestern tend to sell some of the bigger companies in the millions to tens of millions and that is where the larger money to be made is at.I stick to transacting commercial real estate deals and then being a syndicator for retail value add as a sponsor.

Most larger commercial is on terms or with bank financing so remember that with your contract you get with the seller (get more time and more time for due diligence).  

@Arty Fresh larger institutions will require experience but smaller lenders won't. 

I'd be curious to hear your thoughts from a supply/demand perspective and the idea that deals are going quick because of larger pool of hungry investors (or is it more of a macro-economics things)?

I was thinking my first couple projects to be fix and flips to get additional capital then advance to some rental units/larger complexes.

It's the biggest task I have on my plate for the upcoming years and I have somewhat of a plan, but still trying to figure out the best and most efficient way to get good used homes into m parks at an affordable price.  

I mean with the right property this should not be an impossible task.
