There is a bike share station right beside it as well and close proximity to restaurants and coffee shops.

I'm looking at house hacking a property that has two residential units and 1 commercial unit (a small tea shop).

I've worked too hard to get my credit back to good standing over the last decade I don't want to ruin it because I'm shopping around for the best deal.Another few articles I've read say you can only really vet up to 3 lenders, so that puts a cap on it I guess, but that's still 3 hits to your credit score even 3 soft pulls gotta bring your credit down a handful of points. 

I can gauge a lot of that just in my initial calls when I'm shopping around for new PMs.

I would love the opportunity to connect with the both of you over coffee to discuss the real estate market/brain storm.

@Anne Marie Kodama I would be happy to grab coffee with you

Consider speaking with a mortgage broker who might be able to shop multiple lenders for you.

Happy to grab coffee when I'm out there. 

This how came about shopping for over 2 months looking for the right price How did you finance this deal?

That's insane..Please correct me if I am wrongMy understanding is there is an exception for sellers who don't want their house listed, but the property is still only supposed to be shopped around within a brokerage, not to agents at other brokerages.
