Questions for lender and agent

[Gabriel Santin]

Hello BP friends,

I am beginning the process of vetting lenders and real estate agents to help me purchase my first house hack. I am wondering if it matters whether the lender is a portfolio lender or not for a house hack? Furthermore, if there are any other questions for lenders and/or realtors you can think of that would be useful during this process please respond with them it'd be greatly appreciated as always! Thank you
