A good broker can communicate between multiple lenders and often times has established relationships within the C-suite levels of multiple lenders that they can make calls on your behalf to "shake some trees" and get things processed not just in a timely manner, but in a manner that is on time based on what you are trying to do.Unfortunately it is not uncommon per se, but knowing where these hang-ups tend to happen and how to time everything based on lenders timelines and processes is where it can be helpful to have 'go to' lenders that you are familiar with, and they are familiar with you to help get things done.Good luck though, happy to help where/if I can.

(nice to meet you.)what i can help with is determining how your property might perform as a rental. so let's do that.as you probably know, you need to factor in much more than mortgage / PITI. so:will you self-manage, or hire a PM? 

Not sure what else you can do.

if bigger pockets partnered with hospitable, does that mean we can sign up for free?

I want to help however I can.

Taking that step from theory to practice can feel daunting, but you've already laid a strong foundation by educating yourself.I’ve been working with real estate investors, particularly in the Indianapolis area, helping them find and invest in multi-family properties.

I agree with Rene about insurance seeming a bit low -- but you can easily get a quote from a broker and verify that.

Starting from scratch, however, can be a bit daunting, but it's great that you're open to advice.

I would definitely ask if they can assign the contract.
