And the foundation of a professional relationship is trust anyway.

Some Lenders do cap by the Fannie Freddie cap of 10, but there are plenty of lenders out there that will not cap you as long as you are able to provide updates on your properties and have a relationship with them.

Additionally, participating in local real estate investor meetings can connect you with experienced investors for guidance and potential partnerships.Building relationships within the industry can often be as educational as formal training.

I will of course use YouTube and other online sources, but I'd also like to speak with a person and even build a relationship with my local hardware store!

Hello BiggerPockets Community,I’m currently in the process of expanding my real estate portfolio and am looking to establish relationships with hard money lenders who can offer the most competitive and lowest rates available in the market.I am a business owner with $1.5 million in verifiable funds.

Whether it’s networking, sharing experiences, or discussing strategies, I’m here to build meaningful relationships and help each other achieve our goals.If you have any advice, resources, or simply want to connect, please feel free to reach out.

You should always make sure to work with someone boots on the ground who has good relationships with the city so they can make the onboarding process seamless.
