Hi Everyone,

I'm currently in the process of getting financing for my first property. I'm not really looking for anything out of the ordinary, I've got a 790s credit score and will be able to put 25% down. I've looked at options and reviews on sites like nerdwallet.com which show places like quicken loans and various other online lendersas as highly rated places to get my pre-approval/mortgage. 

From those who have done this a time or two, other than if the interest rates vary, does it really matter or is there any advantage with going with a local bank vs an online instituion? 

Hi everyone, I'm Jose.

I'm pretty new to real estate investing, been reading and listening to podcasts and I'm excited to get started. I grew up in northeast Ohio and I'm looking to invest in the Cleveland or Columbus markets. I'm currently work overseas doing I.T., but over the next 10-15 years, I'd like to build the kind of portfolio where I could live on the passive income. I found the bigger pockets website during my search for podcasts and books.
