Your Lender My suggestion to find #2 & #4 would be to go to the top of this page and click on AGENTS & LENDERS.There you will be asked your criteria and then after answering a few questions you will be matched with 3-5 agents or loan officers in your area.

I would suggest you get over to some investing meet ups in the area.
