I would appreciate any and all help.best regards,Jose have you called some local lenders?

Have you considered dropping by one of your local REIA meetings to see what lenders your peers are using?

But unlike going to your bank (and getting your local banks CD rates), with these accounts you can shop CD rates nationwide. 

Local banks and smaller credit unions are most aggressive in this space.

Your financial background is a huge asset, and it’s great that you’re starting locally in Milwaukee while keeping an eye on future expansion.If you’re looking to connect with like-minded investors, the Rental Property Association of Wisconsin is a fantastic resource for networking with rental portfolio owners, accessing legal resources, and finding contractors. https://www.aasew.org/For mentors, funding sources, and flippers, the Milwaukee REIA is another great group to explore. https://www.milwaukeereia.com/I’m a member of both and find unique value in each—maybe we’ll cross paths at a future meeting!

Quote from @Paige Gardner: Does anyone have Any HML recommendations I'm a beginner and want to get started right away but want to weigh my options  Local to your market, happy to connect to help or point you in the right direction.cheers!

would you still create the single LLCs in OH (the state where the flip is in) or open one in my state of residence and JV with the local LLC ?  

Take the time to connect with investor-friendly pros who understand your strategy, and don’t rely solely on pro formas—talk to local investors and analyze real numbers.

To move forward, determine whether you prefer local or out-of-state investing, cash flow or appreciation, and self-management or hiring a property manager.Good luck!

Just do thorough research on the local market and have a solid plan for managing the properties remotely.Good luck!
