Good to know about credit checks getting lumped together. How do you find brokers?

Sounds like an awesome opportunity to mentor your neighbor. I too want to invest in multi families (2-3 unit) and house hack to get the ball rolling. Definitely check out the podcast, @Brandon Turner has several he talks about house hacking. Good luck!

I am completely lost with lender, broker, bank, 

Where else do I shop around if not banks?

Also I thought pre- approvals require a credit check, which could affect my credit score right?

Thank you!

What do you mean by true lenders? Like private money/ other investors?

I'm really trying to get the ball rolling on REI. I recently found an agent (thanks to BP & she's awesome) and asked where I should go to get pre-approved. She in turn referred me to a Wells Fargo lender. My question is will the dollar amount/terms of my loan change from lender to lender? Do I need to search for other lenders or can I have some faith in this lender?

Congrats! I hope to have a similar story soon!

Ahhh yes, that'll do it....at least the attic was cool 😎💰

@Paul DoCampo as Rob said, this is nothing serious, but it should be sturdy. Sounds like a simple fix with a few sheet metal screws and aluminum tape.

Why are you replacing duct work?
