You're going to need to shop around a lot!

Shop for the best rates and terms.  

After shopping the market my wife and I are about to add our second home to our portfolio.

@Tom Wilson I have never heard of a government agency closing shop.

And when I did this they were right, there was no adverse affect.When I shop around for lender fees (prior to my having one lender-person I go to now. developing history and I've been able to get things done quicker like the pre-qual) I just call and ask and when I want to go with one based on that, rarely does it change if at all in the time frame you are going to apply, then I get a pre-approval just before I know I will want to submit an offer.Lenders probably always want to pull it themselves but I wonder if they would be amenable to you providing a copy as a "what-if" nothing official to get an approximation.Hope this helps good luck.

sounds like a good plan to me..you can always shop around to various lenders.

It may take a while but you need to shop around.

There is no one stop shop or sticky for this topic, so it requires a lot of reading and not real one answer that works for everyone.I have 4-6 Investors that want to put in anywhere from 20k-100k in money they have in the bank.

I am hunting for someone who would want to talk shop or let me shadow them through parts of the flip process.I only have the book knowledge as of the moment, and would love to get some real world experience, as well as tips from someone who is in this realm.Message me if this sounds interesting, even if it is just a brief coffee talk!

Pry a piece off and take it with you when you go cabinet shopping.
