@Ryan Keenan If you mention the word BRRRR strategy to your local bank and they don't know what you're talking about then I would keep shopping. 

You certainly have the right idea - looking to build your team right out of the gate.There are a few of us here on BP who specialize in working with real estate investors and I believe most offer a free intro meeting (we do).Shop around a bit and see if there's a good fit for you.

Pullman is Chicago’s only designated National Park and the American Planning Association labeled Pullman as one of the Nation’s Top Ten Neighborhoods (History of Pullman Neighborhood).

That is why my goal is to refi as quickly as possible but I do plan on shopping around for the best financier.

I do love your idea of showing rent on 3 properties, but I would say that you may have a chance of getting one or two mortgages if you shop around, however 3 may be very tough without a solid W-2. 

The name actually originates with the Native American tribe called the Noname tribe (pronounced NoNAHme), which means "land of the gullible".The streets in Colorado are interesting to me because they're laid out a lot more intentionally than in other parts of the country that were developed earlier.

Luke Garry at American Bank & Trust is a great commercial lender.

I can certainly keep shopping HML and banks if you think I can get better terms in this lending environment and my limited experience. 

I am looking to make a move in the next couple of months and need advice on how to shop for loans.I am considering:- Rehabbing an off-market property (Will is currently in probate - expected to be done in next 6-8 weeks.

I'd like to execute my very first house-hack through an FHA loan and need to begin shopping for the right lender.
