How will you market the property?

They followed up right away on my pre-approval application that I submitted online.The appraisal (which usually seems to be a bottleneck with other lenders) reached out right away, even before my term sheet was finalized.Now here is where I feel a bit frustrated with their product marketing and what I actually got.

Hey Jose - if you're working with $15k i'd examine your local market to see if there is an opportunity to house hack if you want to work solo.If you're opening to partnering - I'd reccomend attending your local REIA meetings to see who is looking for a partner / capital.
