I always recommend a home inspection even on new builds.

Any reason why they are strongly recommending this? 

If you need a good agent in Northern Indiana I would recommend reaching out to @Stephen DiJulius He is an investor, and he did a phenomenal job helping us purchase our rental.

All,While the question is banks for landlords, if you do happen to own a Property Management company, I'd highly recommend ENTERPRISE BANK. 

@Joab CardonaI'd recommend getting leases from all the tenants even if they are your friends. 

Im looking for recommendation for Mid Term Property managers within the Phoenix area. 

@Nathan Pethers recommend you use the BiggerPockets Agent & PMC lookup features since +95% of agents CLAIM they can work with an investor, but actually only know how to do owner-occupied transactions.Your PMC and agent should work together, on your behalf so make sure they play nice:)

Hi, who all do you recommend for vacation lender home loans?
