@Andrew Frowiss That sounds good, thank you. I'm hoping to get to more meet ups, especially when they open up in person

Does anyone have any lender recommendations for new investors in the Kansas city, MO area?

The best local banks you've found, hard money, or anyone else to look into?

@Ryan Luby you make a good point about identifying the market, I hadn't thought about that. I'll definitely try and practice analyzing deals.

When your researching lenders are there and specific signs or anything you look for to determine if its someone to stay away from or that they would be a good fit?

@John Foresman I considered something like that my main concern with that is I don't want something to come up and not be able to deal with it since I would still have to go to work. I also mainly deal with commercial, while residential isn't too different and probably easier, I think I could do most of it but I don't know what I dont know lol

@Andrew Frowiss did you just look for someone to partner with on BP when you found a deal or something like a local REIA?

@Ryan Luby yeah I don't think I could quit unless I was able to get several successful deals fist. what do you mean by practice underwriting them?

Is there anything specific I need to know with hard money lenders or is it basically the same but with higher interest rates?

Awesome that helps, thats a good list, thank you for the advice

@Todd Pultz Thanks! out of curiosity what kind of creative financing have you used? And how did you do it?
