 @Ed Brancheau - hey from San Diego! Thanks for the response. Honestly I was trying to work around the TOS, I was hoping to find out who BP members have had success working with. I wasn’t having much luck looking in the BP directory (for the area) and reaching out to agents on my own, but I’ll go about it a different way. Thanks!

Hi @Mark Frattini - thanks, I've since gone back to using a lender local to the market I want to invest in :)

@Cris Normandt thanks for the response! Definitely utilizing the resources you mentioned as well as Zillow's lender directory. 

@Erich Brown Awesome! I'll send you a message

Hey everyone - hope the week is off to a good start! I'm looking for recommendations for lenders that are based in San Diego (plus plus if they're in North County) that work with clients who invest out of state, and are licensed in south, southeast, and midwest states. 

I initially was set on working with a lender local to the market I want to invest in, but I'd like to explore some options local to me as well. 

Thanks in advance!

Hey everyone - I recently moved to North County and am looking for a meetup. Would anyone be interested? Maybe at a brewery? I've seen a few for downtown, but I'd love to start one here. I'm a beginner and looking to purchase my first property (just started a new job, so in a waiting period to qualify for a loan), so this would be a casual meetup for any experience level. Leave a comment or send me a message if you're interested!

@Alora Glaze thank you! I'm going to work on getting preapproved for a loan and then revisit building my team. Thanks for your input!

@Ryan Harwood going to send you a message

@Allen Tracy Thanks Allen. Alora mentioned this in an earlier comment and I've heard it from a few others as well, but sounds like it's street by street in some areas so until I can find out for sure, I'm using the 25th percentile or sometimes lower. 

@Kerry Noble Jr sending you a message

Hey everyone - I'm an OOS investor looking to purchase my first property and would like to get in touch with a few agents and PM's in the Indianapolis area. Does anyone have recommendations? 

My plan is to purchase a multi or single family for under $175k (using conventional loan) and use the BRRRR method in a C or B neighborhood. I have a list of neighborhood "grades," but it's from 2019 so I'll be leaning on my agent/PM for more info there. An agent who invests in the area themselves would be great. I've been running some numbers on a few MF properties and they're coming back with crazy good cashflow, so I'm a little suspicious my Rentometer and Craigslist findings aren't super accurate.

Any other general tips for Indianapolis would be appreciated as well. Thanks in advance!
