I am a real estate investor in Orlando, FL. Currently I am purchasing mostly single family homes. Although my goal is to get into multi-family properties and small apartment buildings. Any advise on financing commercial will be greatly appreciated.

I've found that 10-15 minute discussions with commercial lenders well in advance of you needing money is a good use of a small amount of time. Find out what they need, start building a relationship. Respect their time, but set a goal to find out exactly what they can do for you and what they need from you (e.g .PFS, rent rolls, DCR etc.)
