At under $1m you'd be hard pressed to get attention from a commercial mortgage broker unless they are independent / small shop.

BP has published some excellent books in this arena. 3.

He also said they're sometimes published in the legal newspaper, which costs something to subscribe to.Right now, I was looking through the estate sales listings in my local newspaper. 

Join an Independant brokerage that lets you keep more of your commission then sign up for a coaching program.  

I wouldn't be afraid of an adjustable rate indexed to a stable published rate, with caps on each change as well as a life time cap which you usually won't find from a bank, but sellers you may.Good luck!        

I am eager to learn the art of finding, analyzing and completing deals. i am specifically interested in multi-family properties to purchase in order to start the journey toward financial independence. 

I am 23 years old, married with two children, and my goal is to aquire enough buy and hold rental properties to provide my family financial independence.  

Great that you gave decided to take your big step on the path to financial independence. 

I am studying for my real estate license and I would like to know the best way for me to become financially independent.

From my vantage point I can't tell, but would it be more efficient to route the Dehumidifier and the HVAC condensate to a new, independent condensate pump which ejects to the exterior?
