Kenny,As a lifelong real estate investor and a broker with over 30 years of experience specializing in multi-family properties, I can confidently say that success in this field is all about building relationships.

Also, consider lenders that specialize in investment property financing, like LendingOne or Kiavi. 

For kitchen and bathroom remodels, consider contractors who specialize in those areas as they’re often more efficient.

The model opens a pool of possibilities for owners who are prepared to hold and manage the property long-term.

Show up prepared, ask thoughtful questions, and take detailed notes.

If you're not having any luck with mortgage brokers (I'd search out the ones who specialize in investments), then go to your local REI meeting. 

I specialize in working with Canadians that own property down here (I live in Palm Springs, we might be the snowbird capital of the world?).

We would also be working with them to prepare them for refinance from Day 1.

What I love about Baselane is that it was built BY real estate investors FOR real estate investors so it's really dialed in to what you're going to need in order to prepare your taxes, keep your books up to date and the more operational aspects of being an REI like tenant vetting and processing rent payments.
