@Jon Martin  I agree and in short term its just not worth what you will get in reviews for something like this. 

I turned lender based in St.

Someone that tweaks the pricing and reviews?

Chris,What are you looking to finance or accomplish I ask because with a quick Yelp review there are some negative reviews.

They’re a fantastic way to connect with local investors who can share their experiences and recommend trusted professionals they work with.You’ll likely meet key members of your team at these events, including insurance agents, title companies, lenders, realtors, and even wholesalers.

If you are going to finance your rehab then use a LLC to purchase and a rehab lender for financing. 

As long as you're not in a rush, we always recommend spending some time asking questions of DSCR lenders you might be looking at.

Our current lender is offering us 170K cash out refi ( I will be researching this in a greater detail ).

I'm not sure why not - one of the great parts about real estate investing is that you can build a team around you for aspects you aren't as strong at or simply want to delegate to someone/expert and do the others yourself - look up "Core 4" for example - where you can have an agent, lender, manager, contractor all at once for your investments and can theoretically just let them do all the interactive work

Speak with lenders early to understand your borrowing power, and explore multifamily properties to maximize your house-hacking potential.
