How to talk to lenders
I am in the saving portion of investing. I am in month 1 of my 12 month savings plan to have about $25k and I’m building my credit at the same time!
I want to know if I should try to talk to different lenders about my options or if I should wait until I have better credit and money saved up.
I haven’t bought a property yet, but I plan on house hacking my first few deals...
Also, should I be talking to any realtors this early in the process? I feel like I need about $25k before I do anything but not sure...
