My lender is also an agent... Thoughts?

[Manasseh Arnold]

When looking for a lender I received a referral from a local successful investor within my market.

After reaching out to the lender he messaged back and he said he could also represent me as my agent.

At first thought to a new RE Investor like myself, this sounds great. It sounds to me that this would be beneficial in the sense that my criteria would be even more acknowledged throughout the process...

I figured I would come to BP on this topic. I am looking for any advice on this matter and any pros/cons.

Thanks!
