Hey BiggerPockets community!
I’m just stepping into the multifamily space and looking to learn everything I can, especially around wholesaling multifamily deals. I know this space can be a different ball game compared to single-family, so I’m trying to soak up as much knowledge as possible and connect with others who have experience.
If you have any insight, resources, or suggestions — whether it’s books, podcasts, YouTube channels, or just real-world lessons you’ve learned — I’d love to hear them.
Appreciate any guidance you can share! Also open to connecting with others who are learning this space too — always good to grow alongside people who are hungry to learn.
Thanks in advance for the help!

Hey, welcome to the multifamily game! You're right it’s definitely a different beast from single-family, especially when it comes to valuation and deal structure.
For learning, check out "The Multifamily Millionaire" books by Brandon Turner, and the "Jake & Gino" podcast is also solid. YouTube-wise, look up Rod Khleif or Multifamily Mindset both break down concepts well.
Also, networking here and asking about real-life case studies is gold happy to connect and share what I’m learning too. Let’s grow together!
Hey, thank you so much for the warm welcome! I can already tell multifamily is a whole new level, and I’m excited (and a little humbled) by the learning curve. I really appreciate the recommendations—I’ll definitely check out The Multifamily Millionaire and start tuning into the Jake & Gino podcast. Rod Khleif and Multifamily Mindset are going on my YouTube queue as well.
I totally agree—learning through real case studies and community connections is powerful. I’d love to stay in touch and exchange insights as we both grow in this space. Let’s definitely keep the conversation going!

Hey Priscilla! I just relocated from up north too, I'm from Massachusetts. I was an agent up north, focusing on new development multi-family lease-ups for investors (35 units, 85 units, 140 units, 259 units). Now I'm back on the property management business development side of things.
My long term goal is to invest in LTR down here, but first I need to get my knowledge of the area up. I just started working down here last week. I'd love to chat and see how we can collaborate or share knowledge!
Hey Bill! Welcome to the Sunshine State! More like the Devil's Den lol its so hot down here! My grandmother lived in Mass for some time when I was younger. I vaguely remember it lol Definitely open to picking your brain!

Quote from @E.J. McCaffrey:
Priscilla,
DSCR stands for "Debt-Service Coverage Ratio," which is a way lenders measure whether a rental property earns enough income to cover its loan payments. The ratio is calculated by dividing the property's monthly rental income by its monthly mortgage costs, including principal, interest, taxes, and insurance. For example, if a property brings in $2,000 per month in rent and the loan payment is $1,500, the DSCR would be 1.33. This means the property earns 33% more than what's needed to make the loan payment, which is a good sign to lenders that the investment is financially sound.
These types of loans are especially helpful for people who may not show consistent income on paper, such as self-employed individuals, real estate professionals, or full-time investors. Unlike traditional mortgages, DSCR loans don't typically require tax returns, pay stubs, or detailed income documentation. Instead, lenders focus on the cash flow of the property itself. As long as the rent is high enough to cover the mortgage, you have a good chance of qualifying. That said, DSCR loans usually require a larger down payment (often between 20% and 25%) and may come with slightly higher interest rates. They're also only available for investment properties, not primary residences.
Another major advantage of DSCR loans is that lenders will often allow, or even require, you to hold the property in an LLC. This is a smart move from an asset protection perspective. Owning real estate in your personal name can expose you to legal and financial risks, such as lawsuits from tenants or claims from creditors. By holding the property in an LLC, you create a legal separation between your personal assets and the property. This can reduce your liability, limit your exposure in case of disputes, and provide added peace of mind as you grow your real estate portfolio. In short, DSCR loans not only help you qualify based on the deal itself but also support smart, protective ownership structures.
Hope this helps clarify things for you. Best of luck!

Hi EJ!!! Thank you so much for breaking that down! Appreciate you sharing your knowledge! Makes sense and I feel more confident navigating through the conversation. I am going to be learning some underwriting as well, so this helps!!

My name is Priscilla Rodriguez, and I’m a former Florida Realtor turned aspiring multifamily investor, currently diving deep into the world of underwriting (and trying not to drown in spreadsheets

I’m looking to connect with a commercial or multifamily lender in or near Lake Mary, FL who’s willing to share their underwriting knowledge — someone who doesn’t mind a curious mind and a lot of questions (I promise I bring snacks and good energy).
I’m so committed to learning the process the right way that I’m happy to intern or shadow you for free. I’m talking:
- Showing up early, staying late
- Assisting with deal analysis
- Helping with admin tasks
- In return, I just ask for hands-on exposure to the underwriting and lending side of multifamily deals. I truly believe that proximity is power, and I want to learn from someone who lives and breathes this.
If you’re a lender or analyst in the Lake Mary / Orlando area (or know someone who is), let’s talk. DM me or drop a comment — I’m ready to work, learn, and add value however I can.

My name is Priscilla Rodriguez, and I’m beyond excited (and slightly overwhelmed in the best way) to be here. I’m originally from Brooklyn, NY — so the hustle is in my DNA — but I now live in Florida, (Lake Mary) where I’m actively planting the seeds of my Multifamily investing journey.

Here’s a quick download on me:
-Former licensed Realtor in Florida – so I know my way around a contract and a closing table.
-New to Multifamily investing, but don’t let “new” fool you — I’m hungry, coachable, and ridiculously determined.
-I’ve built solid connections in the space already and have no problem talking to brokers, property managers, or random strangers at Starbucks about cap rates (true story).
-Currently deep in learning underwriting
I’m here because I truly need guidance. I don’t want a handout — I’m ready to do the work — but I’m also looking for mentors, collaborators, and like-minded folks who see value in building something together.
If you’re an investor, broker, operator, or someone who just wants to chat real estate and exchange wisdom, I’d love to connect.
I’m especially looking for:
-Partnerships or joint ventures
- Help with underwriting
- Opportunities to add value to a team
- A kind soul who can explain DSCR to me one more time without judgment

Let’s build something real — together.
Drop a comment, DM, or just say what’s up! Looking forward to learning and growing with all of you.

I wanted to share a bit of where I am on my journey in Multifamily real estate. After attending a 3-day workshop, I left feeling inspired—but also overwhelmed. I was hit with a $40K mentorship fee, which, while I understand the value of knowledge and time, simply isn’t something I can afford right now. I’ve gone as far with the education as my pockets allow, and while I’m grateful for what I’ve learned so far, it’s hard not to feel discouraged.
This is what I truly want to do with my life. I’m passionate, motivated, and I know I’m a people person—I can network, connect, and bring real value. I even managed to get financials on an off-market deal in Texas, which was a big step. I raised 400k in capital through a Florida investor I made a connection with back when I attempted wholesaling. But now I find myself staring at those numbers, unsure of the next move. I feel like I’m trying to catch one fast-moving piece of a much bigger puzzle.
I don’t want a handout—I just want to learn. I’m willing to work, partner, or contribute in any way I can. I just need some direction. If you have any advice, resources, or would be open to a quick conversation, I would truly appreciate it.
