NEWB: Talk to lenders first or find deal first?

Justin Pinder
Posted

Hi. I'll be investing in a 2-4 unit building before the end of the year. If I decide to go at it myself, should I talk to a bank and see what type of loan/limit I can get before finding a property or should I bring the deal to a bank first?

It's never too early in the process to start talking with will be a lenders and learning what the process will be and what different options are available.  Also, will be a great help in underwriting your deals as financing numbers such as rate, leverage, points have a huge effect!
