Real Estate Brokers

I've been earning extra income from renting out parking spaces in my barn. I enjoy it and I've come to think of it as a business. I was thinking I would be well suited to buying a business that relies on property rentals which could range from self-storage sites to apartment/condo complexes. For the latter, I've seen very little along these lines on this forum and through the business brokers I'm currently subscribed to. What brokers would you recommend I reach out to? (I imagine these are separate real estate brokers). What size real estate deal (in terms of top line or unit count) would be equivalent to a self-funded search or a larger traditional search? (I would likely be focused on the Northeast). Given higher interest rates I'm not sure this would be the best time to jump into this, but I'd at least like to know where to look.

Thanks!

I would look at market reports from all of the major real estate brokerages to see recent deal activity which can be a good way of pointing you to the brokers that are most active in the market. The firms typically put out quarterly and annual reports for each of the various property types so you can filter for what interests you most.

really depends on how much money you have. to start, If you are looking for real estate, I'd just go onto loopnet and network with some commercial real estate brokers to start. Lenders are also a good option and they can give you referrals to brokers they like working with.
