Building my team
Hello BP! I'm planning on a big move to full time REI! I have a small team built but I wanted to know who you prefer for the following (in the Bloomington/Normal area of Illinois or nationwide for some categories):
Mortgage Broker/Loan Officer/Hard Money Lender-I've been using a local bank, Busey, but I'm looking for other options either local nationwide for HELOC or traditional loans as well as hard money lenders
Real Estate Attorney - In my area I recommend John Pratt
Escrow Officer or Title Rep -
Insurance Agent - Country Financial has very competitive rates for non-owner occupied dwellings
Contractor
Realtor
Great Handyman
