I would definitely shop around and see which lender would result in the lowest payment, offers the best terms, and would be easiest to qualify with.

But as Nathan said, do your own research and shop around and compare.

After that you can shop/hunt for property.If you are just kicking tires, do a drive by.

I suggest if you haven't already, get preapproved by a reputable lender and shop around.
