Unfortunately, I had the same experience as @Daniel Kong. I needed a quick closing so I called them. Promised they could close in 2-3weeks and rate was competitive. It was a literal bait and switch. No change in any of our docs or circumstances but the fees and actual interest rate increased with NO explanation as we moved forward. I immediately contacted another lender.

@Rodney Morris

Yes! I forgot about Cozy. Makes the screening process and rent collection easy breezy. 

@Alex Bekeza @Troy Williams

Definitely, I HIGHLY recommend it. 

@Anton Ivanov

Thank YOU for the APP!

@Kirk Norris Welcome to BP.  I'm a new investor as well but I'm open to meet and share what I've experienced so far in this market. 

@Edward Allport my experience is the same in this metroplex. We've been able to find a few deals but it's extremely tough. We started with a HELOC and eventually just did a refinance. I'd definitely stick with the HELOC if your rate is reasonable.

@George Genovezos

I feel your pain brother. I'm looking as well. 

But I reserve judgment because I'm not sure if it's the agents or market though... 

Good luck!

Andrew Postell Thanks for the info. I've already opened my HELOC. Hope to find the right property soon.
