Credit Unions, Lenders for First Time Long Distance Homebuyer

Hi all, 

I'm aiming to purchase rental properties in the Milwaukee, Appleton and Green Bay areas. I have family out in Green Bay and love the area. 

I want to put an offer in on a property in Appleton tomorrow and would greatly appreciate any recommendations for credit unions and lenders in these areas for first time long distance homebuyers and investors. I know I qualify but as mentioned, I am just starting my personal portfolio. 

Any feedback is much appreciated!

Hey Kasey!

Congrats on making the jump to real estate investing! I am based in Chicago but hold licenses in most states, and for your scenario specifically I have a colleauge who has family up in Wisconsin and is also licensed there.

I'd love to be a resource for you, and can introduce you to a phenomenal loan officer, who also invests in rentals himself.


Feel free to message me directly! Thanks and best of luck!

    Hey @Kasey Destache - I am also based in Chicago like @Mike Scaccia but we are working with Verve credit union and I believe they are regional not just local to us down here.

    There are several key BP players up in Milwaukee I'd link up with them and see who they work with.
