Thanks for the help guys!!!

Would you mind telling me a little about any negative experiences you have had?

I'm trying to fid out what companies are raising rates often in 2020/2021

Thank you!

Thanks guys!

I'm going to be living in a triplex while renting the other units and I'm wondering if it could be cost effective to use an online rent payment portal for the tenants? I don't want to collect cash or checks.

Thank you!

I want to know how much your'e paying for insurance. I was quoted $1500 for a 12 month policy on a triplex in CT. It's in excellent condition, rebuilt in 2017. What are you paying?

Great thread, i'm wondering about this very issue right now with a three unit (Fully occupied) I'm interested in. Thanks for posting the question @Rowan Hallahan

Hi Sarah, I'm in CT too. I'm also pretty new to investing. If your'e interested in the CT shoreline let me know I've done some serious homework on this area. I'm also a licensed real estate agent. Let me know if I can help with anything.

Hi, I'm a new investor and trying to get my first deal done. I am trying to put together all the pieces so I can move forward on that first deal. I'm in CT and I don't want to end up with a lender who is difficult to refinance with, has stingy appraisers and makes refinancing some kind of olympic sport. The REI clubs are packed with people who simply got loans from the banks they have banked with for the last 10 years or the lender their buddy used and that's fine but I'm appealing to the forum to find out how to vet an amazing lender.

Should I be looking for a genuine mortgage broker to help me find the best terms? Instead of a lender who is only lending his or her institutions money?

What are questions you would ask to determine how friendly they are to investors?

I'll happily take any recommendations for lenders who are awesome and you have personally had a great experience with. I would use my own bank that I recently left because their rates are high and being a long time customer holds little water with them.

Thank you for your help.

Wow I read your post then re read it again.
I cannot believe that I get advice like this without paying for it. You took the time to reply to my question and you're even offering to help me further. I'm very appreciative of you Andrew. Before I take anymore of your time I will need to solidify my REI strategy but I'll keep that offer top of mind. I would love to have you in my corner for my insurance needs. Talk soon!

@Will Fraser Thank you Will! Anyone I meet with plans of moving to Oklahoma I’ll be sure to refer them to you. Than you again.
