@Matthew LorentzYour best bet is to give them your requirements and refer out to one or two insurance brokers to help.

@Kevin CarpenterI typically use Batch Leads to cross reference all the properties currently on the MLS to quickly determine the loan types on listings.

Not only will they find you the deal, but they can typically refer you to some contractors.

Here's where you can continue to lean on your agent who can refer you someone.

And I recommend you do your own due diligence and not just take someone's word for it.you can look up here on BP the number of sponsors who were referred by others and now posts are out about them losing everyone's money
