After the deal review, one of the members approached me and explained how I could get better results from leverage with a capital partner. 

So, if you were going to approach a realtor with specific numbers, location, and size - where would you start?

But if someone approached me with an opportunity for say, a large multifamily deal, I wouldn’t say no to it just because I want to do STRs.

A good approach is to use direct mail for lead generation sending leads to a website or to a toll free phone number.

I’m curious on how we should approach the owners to inquire about buying their lot adjacent to their AirBnB?

I have spoken with multiple lenders offering DSCR/cash flow loans, only to be told that they cannot help me as soon as I mention it is technically the sale of 6 different parcels - their reason primarily being either that they can't bundle the underwriting of multiple parcels into one loan.Any ideas for what could be my best approach to finance this?

You can try a commercial loan and income approach appraisal on this but you're changing your down payment now to 25% down. 

., for a single family or small multi-family an appraiser uses a comparable sales approach to determine value.

And consider putting a percentage into cryptos - sure, many coins may crash and many approaches are not time-tested, but also, there has never been such opportunities for life-changing gains as now exist in that space.Our wealth is spread between real estate, cash, stocks/funds, crypto, and a little in physical metals.

If you are going to use it for a down payment or purchase that you plan to flip or refi and then pay off the line to reuse, great approach if you are going to use it as a long term note, not so much of a good idea.
