Question about conflict of interest

[Account Closed]

I have a mortgage broker who seems intent on actively steering me away from any rehab properties and into "retail" level properties. I have also learned that he is a flipper himself in the same area that I am looking at. While I have no direct evidence of any type of malfeasance, the appearance of a conflict of interest seems pronounced. I am interested in other peoples take on the issue. Am I being paranoid? Is this a reportable issue (and to whom)? Should I cut and run?

Thanks for any advice!
