I agree with the previous guys comments and say go to free webinars and   Make connections as best as you can ( at coffee shops, grocery stores, restaurants and sports cloud bars, meetups, etc).

However, if you have a reason to refinance (lower rate, more cash out) then it would be a much safer bet to get a DSCR loan and refinance into your LLC.

There are exceptions - some properties are set up such that installing a few electric baseboard heaters might be possible to save on the gas bill - but i would still just shy away if not metered separately at the outset.  10) do shop for a lender and compare (usually pretty standard but there can be some fluctuation) - dont fall for the ones that sound too good to be true - there are gimmicks out there - big bank or reputable broker should do you fine.  

Connect with a quality broker in your area that can shop the various companies for you and find you the best deal without compromising coverage.
