There are many of us that are long time repeat clients on both ends of lending and borrowing that have worked with them for years and we are all very satisfied.

This allows entry without a key, and allows me to change the lock as needed if I don't want someone in there.As an agent, I provide contacts to my clients who will do these things, and occasionally I will do favors for past clients who need someone to open the door or quickly supervise an appointment; of course not all agents will do this or for free.  

My favorite calls are from prospective clients who have been with another company - they know what matters to them and I know a lot about how the relationship will go, based on what they've experienced with another PMC. 

@Jonathan Blanco, I'm and investor and a licensed mortgage broker so I've been on both sides of this conversation.I would look for a lender that (1) listens to you and understands your strategy and needs (hint: it's not always money), (2) has experience working with clients executing your strategy and brings more to the table than just cash - be it advice, relationships, deal-team partners, etc., (3) gives you viable options and explains the pros and cons of each option and (4) you enjoy interacting with - this should be a relationship, not a transaction.Once you find a few lenders like this (and you should have relationships with more than one), then you can start comparing rates and fees.

Yep I know it- I've had multiple tax clients over the years face a mean surprise with that. 

Bunch of realtors come on a spout off that their clients cash flow from day 1 all the time.

Because we are vertically integrated, we can streamline operations and avoid many unnecessary costs, ultimately saving our clients money.Another crucial factor to consider is the experience and investment mindset of your PM team.

The process can take client's anywhere from one month to two years of active and consistent searching, analysis and dealmaking to acquire the right home.

A lot of clients ask me how much I spend on a typically full cosmetic rehab of a duplex unit in Philly.

I’ve seen clients choose a cheaper PM despite warnings, only to deal with poor communication and headaches.
