Most of the deals that make sense for a 1 to 50 unit investor do not start on MLS. They start in conversations. Alex spends most of his week walking buildings, returning calls from owners considering a sale, and tracking properties for clients who told him exactly what they want.
What sourcing looks like
- MLS scan, every morning. Active multifamily inventory across both counties, filtered to your unit count and price band.
- Off market. A working list of owners Alex has talked to in the last 18 months. Some are 6 months out. Some are this week.
- Pocket listings. Other agents share with Alex when a deal fits a known buyer profile he tracks.
- Distressed and inheritance situations. Probate, divorce, and seller fatigue come through his network often.
How a typical engagement runs
Most buyer engagements begin with a 30 minute call. You walk Alex through capital, target submarkets, unit count band, and timeline. He puts you on the live deal flow inside 48 hours. You see 3 to 5 deals a week that fit. When a deal moves, you get a 1 page financial brief with the ROI math already done.
If a deal makes it to LOI, Alex coordinates inspection, financing, and closing. He works with a short list of vetted property managers, lenders, and 1031 QIs you can pick from after close.
