The best(recommended) time to shop around?

[Tomoko Hale]

After engaging with a few lenders for a DSCR loan, I decided to go with one of them. After informing the other lenders that I had made a decision not to go with them, they came back with additional information. When is the best time to shop around for lenders—while searching for a property or after finding one? What would you recommend if the other lenders, whom I initially decided not to use, want to beat the rate I've chosen, assuming the timeline is not an issue?

OP.  Develop a relationship and stick with them.  Rate variations should be a minimal point.  There should be no follow up information they bring to the table.
