It felt like everyone I found were self-serving, looking to line their own pockets, or not willing guide because of fear of competition.

I’ve been working with several lenders for DSCR loans, but I’ve found that the fees are quite high, with minimal benefit in terms of lowering my current interest rate.

I may look at out-of-state investing in the future, but I think good deals can be found locally (which I think you acknowledged). 

Quote from @Nick Rivers: What's the best content you've found to help you learn how to underwrite these deals? 

Every flipper has found themselves at Lowe's for the fourth time in a single day, picking up yet another piece of material for a project.

I’m truly excited to have found this amazing platform and such a supportive community!

Quote from @Patrick OHalleran: Hi David - I used HallCPA for a Consulting engagement (about $5k) and found the tax planning support to be very helpful. 

I have found this much easier than being a private lender. 

If you found this buyer I would say that its worth finding and then looking for the sellers but I believe that would take a lot more time than finding sellers and getting a bunch of buyers as opposed to just 1.

There are at least two I found on a quick google search including Central Indiana Real Estate Investors Association (CIREIA) and INDIANA REAL ESTATE INVESTORS ASSOCIATION.
