Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

Any insights, experiences, or recommendations would be greatly appreciated. 

Typically, co-op's are less valuable than condos for a number of reasons such as supply/demand, lack of investor interest, older units, estate planning issues, financing and board policies. 

I would not recommend them as their points and interest rates are so high it is extremely hard to find a deal that will work with the 0% down.

To get started, I would recommend interviewing some TK providers in the OKC and AL markets to find out who provides the service and experience you seek as an out-of-area investor.

What I find to be most valuable: Ease of use, cost-savings and efficiency and here's what I mean: If using an interior designer to furnish your rental, they will hand you a list of supplies + furniture to buy and what I was able to do with Minoan is upload that list as a CSV file and then they come back with a quote of all of the items they can fulfill along with their respective discount. 

We don't recommend "newbies" start out with Class D properties.
