Can somebody point me in the right direction of investor friendly lenders or possibly give me some input on how I could finance 5-7 more properties?  

Hi,I'm new to the Baltimore market and looking to connect with more real estate agents in the area (particularly if you specialize in Pigtown). Would love to get some recommendations.Thanks!

It is a non-threatening question, and can lead to them telling you a lot more details about their opinion of value based on their motivation, how realistic they are about the condition of the house vs. comps, whether or not a family member or friend has an influence on them, etc.3.

If you have a friends/family close by that can do it, then that also works.

Along came an opportunity through a friend to purchase a house that easily values @ $180,000 for $115,000(purchase price). 

@Bradley De comarmond  I have a personal friend who is a GC hands on for over 20 yrs.

Indy is business friendly and has a AAA credit rating, lots of jobs and has had a steady 3% population growth over the past 30 years.

My "coach" is my friend I know in real life, and I consider him more of a mentor in both business and life.I am curious - how did you get into real estate investing?
