12:23 Share

This week’s question comes from Kaylee) on the Real Estate Rookie Facebook Group. **Kaylee **is asking: When looking for a lender (specifically 203k) what is the best most effective way to find them? Do I need to find someone local? Am I overcomplicating?

Whether it’s a 203k loan), or any other loan, having a consistent and quality lender is incredibly important when building up your real estate portfolio. Ashley and Tony have both used a handful of lenders to fund their different types of deals.

Here are some suggestions:

• Start with local lenders), especially ones you have relationships with already

Call or email all the banks in your area or the area you’re looking to buy in

- Tell loan officers your plan, they may have a loan that fits exactly what you need

• Even if a loan officer doesn’t have the right type of loan for you, keep up the relationship!

Get referrals from other investors in your area

• And More!
