I am also active with Flips and own a few 4 plexes...Im a licensed NM Realtor would be happy to help set up a few searches, look at properties (Virtually as well), and tell you more about specific areas of town with the pro's and con's of each. 

Most lenders won't require an application fee and should be able to clearly lay out their financing costs, cash to close, and projected profitability for you.I hope this helps.

@Dillon Clark-don't pay extra down on your mortgage-don't use a HELOC-save up as much as you can-hope this helps

I have been a realtor for +8 years helping out-of-state investors buy and sell here successfully too.

Hope this helps!

And yes Colin offers MLS only with a one time fee hope that helps 

Happy to help. 

In addition to being a lender, I am an investor as well so if you want to give me a call so we can discuss your numbers, I'd love to help you out!

I've helped my cousin acquire two investment properties in Augusta, so while I can't claim to be an expert, I can share some insights.

Would love to connect and see how we could help each other.
