5-10 unit Multis - how to find them? Loopnet, Crexi? What else?

[Nick Shri]

I have been scoping loopnet and crexi for a couple of months now. Needless to say, nothing has peaked my interest. What else should I try to find deals for 5-10 unit apartments? What has worked for you 5+ unit owners?

This was my sweet spot and I purchased 4 from 2003-2007.

In my county, we can search the assessor's site by property type. 

Pick an address you know is what you're looking for on the county assessor site and analyze the deets. Here a house is an 11, plex 2-4 a 12, 5 unit+ is a 13.  

I can also do this for sales history.  Play with that and see who is buying and selling these assets.
