Hi BP community,Can anyone share any recommendations on an investor friendly, local bank which you are working with or have had good experiences with in the past?

First, I'd recommend getting to know what different avenues you have such as wholesaling, buy and hold, developing, "house-hack", etc and seeing what you're comfortable with.

What they say to send is much higher than anyone else I have seen.I would recommend looking at the Land Riches Blueprint with Jonathon Haveles.

Is everyone still having good results with SMS with all the changing compliance issues? If so, which platform seems to have best delivery results?

I recommend setting a time to chat with your PM and set expectations for communications that work for both of you.Most of my owner clients want less communication.

Does anyone recommend a good Property Manager in the Indianapolis area.

@Phillip Rosin - Based on the info you provided, I recommend that you start with a Fix to Rent short term loan to purchase the property and rehab it, followed by a cash out refinance into our DSCR loan.

They will be filing my 1099 for me to the IRS.In general, what tips and recommendations do you have that I should keep in mind in my first year of renting, and for a first time, hands-off landlord?
