Legally they can't be shopping for a quote for you but they can definitely share a few contacts, especially if their past clients had good experience with these specialists.

If you shopped rates and have several lenders, you're missing out on cross collateralization. 

You can compete with riskier stuff outside common buy boxes and in tertiary markets.If you aren't already licensed, is the plan to use a Realtor to make offers on your behalf, given it is already listed on the MLS, and then shop around for a buyer? 

I also bought through the short term shop and am interested in the mastermind as well.

.$2M in, at this future time, lightly levered RE.Supposing this is close to what you’d love, one could spit out a financial plan that looked something like the following:- Max HSA- Max 401(k)Use leftovers to go on a shopping spree buying RE at relatively low leverage, potentially on 15 year mortgages, in local LCOL area (which probably also means a relatively reasonable cash flow market)Obviously I’m making a ton of assumptions here and will be wrong in ten places.

It does not matter if you have a small online store, have a mobile coffee shop in a trailer or if you are flipping couches.

Engage with local officers to gather insights about the neighborhood, and don't hesitate to ask them specific questions about the property.When touring, pay attention to tonality, body language, and hidden cues from sellers.

I have noticed a lot of institutional shops and real estate private equity firms will factor in SOFR rates into their analysis.

(The shopping carts outside are a sight to behold.)

@Tiffany Tan in addition to other suggestions, have either yourself or someone you know secret shop your listing.
