Where could I get in contact with someone like this and what kind of rate should I anticipate they would expect?

Post notices and set expectations. 

That helps with competition, but don't expect discounts - prices are still up 8.3% YoY.

If you're only looking to avoid doing your own research and instead expect someone to magically give you all the answers - SELL!

Prior to investing in anything for myself, I also set a clear expectation of a result that I require- mine was to acquire a BRRRR property, which I was able to achieve.

.- Closing Costs: This can include various fees related to finalizing the loan, such as recording fees and settlement costs.Inspection Fees: If required, this ensures the property is in good condition before purchase.It’s a good idea to discuss these potential costs with your lender upfront to get a clearer picture of what to expect.

@Priyanka Shah Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a Class A property in Class D area, what quality of tenant will you get?

Make sure you have an appropriate buffer and expect to be over budget.

@John Salcedo you may already know some of this, but a reminder doesn't hurt:)Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.So, when investing in areas they don’t really know, investors should research the different property Class submarkets.

A lot of our borrowers, specifically new construction builders, in and around Austin - are having to hold properties for much longer than expected.
