Seek the lender first

So I have been away from bigger pockets after taking the advice of bigger pockets to let go of analysis paralysis. I am proud to say I actually called to inquire about a lot of multifamily houses near my job. I learned a lot from the experience. The most important being that as a new investor my eyes were way to fixated on obtaining a house. Yes, event though it is the ultimate goal, I am never going to reach that point without proper financing first. Investors, in your view was obtaining proper financing the chicken or the egg for your first deal.

Thankfully I found that Ohio has some great opportunities for first-time homeowners which will help reduce our down payment even further. I can't wait for the phone meeting with the lender.
