Hi BP
After almost 10 years of experience in owning 4plexes and single family rentals,I am trying to keep moving forward and building my realtor and lender team In commercial (apartment complex).
I have my team on the 4plex and single family, but they are not experts on commercial field.
Any recommendations are greatly appreciated.
By the way I am already maxed out for getting residential loans and trying to keep moving forward as commercial real estate investment.

Most multi family commercial lenders will want to see that you are an experienced owning 5+ units or a significant amount of 1-4 Units (typically 4 or more). Lenders may also want to see that your net worth is equal or greater than your loan amount request. Depending on the program type, lenders will also want to see a global cash flow of 1.20 or greater and a property DSCR of 1.25 or greater.
When it comes to CRE lending, there is a lot of grey area, and various financial institutions that have varying credit guidelines. The above is just a rough idea of what most lenders will want to see to lend to you. You may want to work with a commercial mortgage broker, if this is your first time navigating this space.
OP. Your current lending institution will be your best bet since you have a track record with them. Ask them to introduce you to their Commercial lending group. If not, reach out to Frost bank, ask for a local Commercial lending officer, although I don't like large banks. Personnel tends to shift to often.
As far as realtors in the DFW area, decide on your Commercial investment type and just drive around the neighborhood or look at Loopnet and see who has the most listings of both your type of investment and in your investment area.
