I’d be happy to help you explore multifamily options and share what financing would make the most sense for your goals.To hit your questions one by one:• I’m a mortgage broker, not a direct lender — that means I shop multiple wholesale lenders to find the best rates, terms, and programs for each client.• I offer a full range of conventional, DSCR, investor cash flow, bank statement, and portfolio multifamily loans.• Yes, I can communicate directly with listing agents to help strengthen your offer and show that financing is solid.• The money I lend comes from reputable wholesale lenders and banks I’m approved with — all underwritten through standard agency or investor guidelines.• For down payment assistance, those are generally limited to owner-occupied deals — happy to run through what’s available if you plan to live in one of the units.• To start, I’d just need some basic info about your goals, income, credit, and property type — we can figure out the best fit from there.• Pre-approvals usually take 24 hours or less once I have the necessary info.• Yes, I have rate lock programs available through several of my lenders.• I can absolutely share references and reviews from clients, including some who are active here on BiggerPockets.• And yes, I regularly connect clients with investor-friendly agents, property managers, and insurance pros in the area.If you’d like, we can set up a quick call or Zoom to talk through what you’re looking for and get you pre-approved.– David Stephens
