DTI < 33%Some inconsistencies that I am discovering in the process- Some lenders requiring a hard-credit pull vs some ok pre-approving me with just a soft pull- Some lenders willing to share a loan estimate sheet with exact costs to close, vs some keep insisting that they "need to run the process to get the loan estimate" and that it can only be done after I get into contract.Just before going into a contract, I would like compare all of the pre-approvals and compare their rates, exact cost to close & potential time to close & then pick the best one to make the offer.Ideal scenario- Pre-approve based on a soft pull (so I don't get my credit score dinged every time I work with a new lender)- Share loan estimate sheet with pre-approval for a potential propertyAm I asking too much from the lenders?

One thing I’ve noticed is that while many investors are great at finding deals, scaling and systemizing their business is where the real challenge begins.Some key obstacles I’ve seen investors struggle with include:❌ Inconsistent lead flow – Many rely on one or two marketing channels but don’t have a system to track performance or improve conversions.❌ Poor CRM management – Leads get lost, follow-ups are inconsistent, and opportunities slip through the cracks.❌ Not leveraging automation – Repetitive tasks like lead follow-ups, KPI tracking, and marketing execution can eat up valuable time.❌ Building the right buyers list – Some investors struggle to find serious buyers who close quickly and consistently.What’s Been Working?
