Any Pointers When it Comes to Lenders?

[AJ Satcher]

Are there any good pointers when it comes to lenders? I've talked to one local mortgage company so far and we've actually had pretty good back and forth conversation. I just don't want to stretch myself reaching out to a bunch of different lenders when from what it sounds like I will be offered very similar products. All the while I'm liking this mortgage consultant who I am currently working with. I am a first time homebuyer looking for low down payment options, preferably on a duplex to house hack.

Thanks
