Recommend a mortgage broker in central Connecticut?

Question

Hi all! I'm talking to individual banks about my lending options for the BRRRR strategy, but I'm thinking it makes more sense to go through a mortgage broker who can shop around.

Has anyone in CT (Hartford area) found a good mortgage broker? If so, feel free to message me the details. Thanks!

@Philip Pape Are you looking to refinance conventionally (Fannie/Freddie backed) 6-12 months after purchasing or with a bank that holds its own paper that can refi you quicker into a commercial loan program they offer?

Clarifying that will go a long way to who people suggest on here. With the first option pretty much any mortgage broker will have access to the same programs. With the 2nd option it will be harder to find a bank willing to do a loan like that but when you find one you can turn your projects much quicker.

@Michael Noto, this will be my first deal and I'm focused on SFRs, so probably the first option. But I'm open to learning about what's out there and talking to multiple brokers/banks to line things up in advance.

@Julie Nearing, thanks again for another recommendation. A broker who specializes in what we do will definitely make the process smoother, so I will reach out to Charlie.
