Just Starting Out in Mortgage Brokering - Advice you wish you got when you started

[Jackson Ebersole]

Hi Everyone!

It's nice to e-meet you and I hope this message finds you well. I'm reaching out to seek advice and guidance as I embark on my journey into the world of private lending. My partner and I just started, created the LLC, got all the documents, and have begun introductions with lenders across the market.

I'm eager to learn from your experiences and gain insights into how to get started, pitfalls to avoid, and strategies for success.

Specifically, I'm interested in hearing about:

1. Getting Started: What steps did you take when starting out as a private lender? Any resources or recommendations for someone new to the industry?
2. Lessons Learned: Looking back, are there any lessons you wish you had learned earlier in your private lending career? Any mistakes to avoid?
3. Building Reputation: How did you go about getting your name out there and establishing credibility as a private lender? Any marketing or networking tips?
4. Clubs and Associations: Are there any clubs, associations, or networking groups that you found particularly valuable for connecting with potential borrowers and other industry professionals?
5. Deal Generation: What strategies have you found most effective for generating deals and identifying promising investment opportunities?

I'm eager to hear your perspectives and learn from your experiences. Your insights will be invaluable. 

Thank you in advance for your time and wisdom.

Kind Regards,

Jackson
