@Gwyeth SmithOh really, so it’s just about finding the right broker that matches you.

I don't see appreciation in multi-families like in Single Family in my area -- Large multi-family price is determined by cap rate and income and small multi uses comps more and appreciation typically matches inflation

Find good programs to work with, become a preferred landlord and get referrals matched to your property.

. - I contribute the minimum to get the full match on my 401k and then save the rest for real estate. 

The second time was when the actual market rent comps didn't match the projected rents in the proforma numbers. 

Get a certified rent roll from the seller and review all leases to make sure the rent rolls match.

In this scenario we are still $105,000 short of matching our current debt.

And if your asking in the lines of what about your name bring on the mortgage, the Mortgage will say whatever it's going to say, but the title wont match the public records which produces doubt, and it will look like an investor acquired the property as a credit sponsor to in turn sell it to investors through a trust.

Then reach out to an agent, turnkey company, etc that matches what type of investing you want to do. 

This makes it hard to match people with common names.
