As lenders, well issue a prequal/preapproval letter if we've analyzed your income, assets (bank and brokerage statements to establish that you have the liquidity to afford the down payment, closing costs, and reserves), review credit of the guarantors, review the relevant experience to ensure that we're not throwing our money away on newbies that are wandering around in the dark, and have put together a reasonable plan of attack for the project.

Of course, always check recent reviews.. they tell you more than a flashy website.Size Matters: I’d avoid both extremes... massive firms managing thousands of units and one-person operations juggling too much.

Definitely try to get pre-approved through a lender so you know how much property you can purchase.
