Rental Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

Hi everyone,I am new to this community and real estate investing.

Check the Facebook group "Quad Cities Real Estate Investors" I can do some more research and interview some if you'd like a broker that plays in the space all day.  

I am looking to connect with local investors.

As someone who recently completed my first fix-and-flip project, I can share a few challenges that took me by surprise:Navigating the local permitting process was more complex and time-consuming than I anticipated.
