Rochester Minnesota - recommendations for Lenders and Realtors
Good Morning Bigger Pockets! Hey I have a young professional (extended family member) in the Rochester Minnesota area looking to purchase her first home. She's looking for a duplex, smart move on her part, but doesn't have a clue where to start. She has a good job as an officer with the Rochester police department. But told me her credit isn't the best. I didn't ask specifics. Anyway I need some recommendations on Lenders she can work with in that area. I'd like 2 or 3 at least so she can talk with them and find one she's comfortable working with. I'd also like a couple recommendations on Realtors in that area. Someone willing to work with a first time home buyer who will have lots of questions. And speaking of questions - Any suggestions on specific questions she should ask a realtor and lender in the vetting process would be helpful. thanks!
