Before you shop for a property, do you know how much the bank will lend you? 

Also, when shopping for rates have the lender do a soft pull on your credit score. 

My goal would be to do storage and build shops for commercial rentals.

I guess that sums up to a group of people who would LIKE TO know what to do, but not one person in the group really knows.So...one 'like-minded' person tells the other 'like-minded' person that they should both try some senseless strategy and everyone can learn by banging their heads on stone walls.The only thing I like about some meetings is when their is soft drinks, coffee and cookies.

Also, I was shopping around some more and I found a lender who is giving me a 3.65% with just $4k in closing cost.

Let me know when you are back home and we can get a coffee/beer and talk.Thanks!

And tell you what, if you value the answer feel free to skip the coffee, I have plenty at my office and to be honest I am too busy doing work to hang at coffee shops to be blunt about it, lol. 

We stayed at an AirBNB and the coffee pot stopped working.
