The Role of Mortgage Brokers in Real Estate FinancingMortgage brokers act as intermediaries between you and lenders, streamlining the loan process while finding the best deals for your unique situation.

I'm currently pre-approved but my lender gave me a "mid-level rate" which I believe isn't my actual rate since I haven't chosen a property but me not being as educated on the behalf and thinking it was my actual rate I decided to rate shop a bit.

If it’s a blanket loan they would talk to the lender ahead of time.

I have heard it used different ways.I have used a version of gap funding where the hard money lender funds 85% of the flip (purchase + renovation) and the gap funder funds 10% of the deal.

It would be good to talk to a lender to make a game plan and review your financials. 

private money lender How did you add value to the deal?

SubTo, "Subject To" is not a contract between the new owner and the lender.

We have a 3% rate so dont want to refi but the property has appreciated quite a bit so would like to tap into that equity to fund our next deal.I am having some trouble finding lenders that offer helocs on investment properties.Does anyone know of any banks and/or lenders that do helocs on investments?

Option 4: 20% down on 2 to 3 properties Also open to hear other ideas, I'm self employed so getting a lender can be a bit more difficult.
