@Uary Souza - Do a quick search on here and you'll find a LOT of options.  Many investors explain their experiences with different companies.  Make sure you shop around until you find 1-2 that work best for you.  I've had experiences with 3-4 so far.  My current lender is LendingOne.

Here is a post I found recently where someone asked about the lender above https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/520/topics/25...

Other excellent option is HELOC if you have that option.

It sounds like you need to read the book "The One Thing" by Gary Keller. Several books that are mentioned daily on BP will also help you out here. Narrow down your market area, then find the deals. Best of luck sir.

I know in my market I see several post a week asking the same questions. I'd suggest a quick search on here and you'll find PLENTY of responses. I'm sure others will chime in with answers here for you but in the meanwhile, do that search. Even after that, you'll have to weed out people and find who truly works best with you and understands your needs. Each investor has different needs.

Welcome sir! Getting over the Paralysis by Analysis can be tough. Take that step and you'll wish you did it sooner. Best of luck

@Jamey Newman - Do a quick search.  I've noticed several identical post over the last week.  I'm sure you'll get some responses on here but find the other post to add names to your list. Then the game of who "works best with you" begins...

@Damir Kamber - From several previous scenarios I've had, @Account Closed has pretty much summed up exactly what to do.  If that is not in black and white in your lease, then it's her residence and it would be illegal for you or others to enter her residence without permission.  NOT likely anything bad would come of it especially if you've had such a good relationship with her.

I'd definitely try to work with her from the start.  Get her to agree to showings in the evenings and weekends.  I'd have the agent post your phone number in the private remarks and request either by appointment only (which I hate, limits showings) or at least an hour notice.  Then you can directly call your tenant.  If you get push back from her after one or two showings, DON'T DELAY, act immediately with the incentive or else you'll be left trying to be nice and weeks will go by with no activity.

Do a quick search and setup keywords. You'll find people posting this same or similar question ALL the time.

@Drew McLeod - I suggest Google Voice and respond as soon as you get a chance.  IF if you have a great deal, investors will leave a VM, trust me!  You can state that in your posting, I don't know of an investor who won't be understanding to your FT job.  All they care about is getting that good deal from you and will likely call you back again before 4pm when you have time to return their call anyway. :)

Don't overthink this.  Find a great deal and you will have buyers lined up waiting.  Just remember to always be honest with your deals and investors will happily pass on your name to other investors.

BTW, hopefully you can find enough deals to get rid of that FT rat race.

Best of luck sir!

Welcome Eric!  You've certainly found the best RE website I know of.  I suggest you setup some keywords on areas or subjects you'd like to hear more about.  I've already made several excellent contacts in the last week from this.  I'm meeting up with another investor next week just to talk shop as a matter of fact.  

I mean seriously, what better place could you have found than Bigger Pockets to find like minded individuals who are here to support you regardless of your level.  Best of luck sir and keep us all posted in the "Success Stories" when you get that first deal.

@Julie Fears - I believe you both made the right choice!  You're clearly on the right course of action here.  Let someone else handle the grunt work while you find the deals and make things happen!

Best of luck to you both
