It's always good to shop around for financing and they seem to have just given you more reason to do so.

I suggest you stay away from the large residential developments in all the local countries, which are always over marketed and hyped to foreigners, though they will include very appealing financing.Better to stay commercial and look at tenanted multi-story retail shop-lots or professional offices in established areas, in my view.

Write a contract on a property and shop it around to several hml lenders in your area This way you get idea of contracts,title comps You can compare this to your business plan 

However you can get much better with a little shopping around or using a broker.

I guess I have some research to start doing, for a shop to hang my shingle with.

I've done Craigslist, called all the appliance stores and checked out quite a few thrift shops.

As opposed to those who are shopping for a primary residence, with them I usually send them homes I think that will fit their needs.Many good Realtors do not want to work with investors.

I have spent 2 weeks, and don't want to waste time there anymore.My question is if I start shopping around and find a good agent from statefarm, will he/she help me as new customer?

Located on a quiet all-townhouse street, yet within a few minute's walk of public transportation, shopping, parks and nightlife.

You would get a home under contract with a small deposit and then shop it among the dozen plus builders working in town.Now the disclaimer.
