You should be able to get a good feel for their knowledge and expertise through digital resources they provide (webinars, youtube videos, social content) Character - You need to believe they have your best in mind and they prioritize it.

Quote from @Jaša Rot:Hey Jasa, I would imagine there are going to be a bunch of folks jumping in there to lend their expertise, so just because I'm first, doesn't mean I'm right, but: Generally that initial loan needs to be secured by real estate.

I'm happy to share any local expertise about investing in the area and get you connected with good folks here.Chris
