@Brittany Villamil  I like the responses of @James Wise and @Dell Schlabach In my opinion, going with a loan officer that is knowledgable about investors and the financing options of investors, and how to read tax returns can make or break you getting approved or not approved.

Also, this is Dell's hometown and many other tech companies have set up shop here, ie.
