That can help you narrow down more.

They’re a great way to meet local investors, wholesalers, lenders, and contractors who are actually out there doing deals.On the buyer side, our group helps a lot of investors and wholesalers get started.

Conventional lenders typically offer higher rates right now, but you might find better terms through local credit unions, community banks, or portfolio lenders, especially if you have strong financials. 

I have a property on the barrier island that I do not want to list on MLS but I am interested in connecting with realtors or investors who typically sell or buy pocket listings and may be interested in this property.

Do I need an attorney to help structure the loan and details?

Love that you're both investing and helping other investors out in DFW.

I would love to go ahead and connect and begin to build these relationship with any agents, lenders, and investors, who are willing to help, educate, guide, or work with me as I begin this journey!

In addition to rental property insurance for a fix-and-flip, investors typically carry several other types of insurance to protect their business and mitigate risks.
