Correspondent Lending Questions

[Sean Gummer]

I am exploring the option of becoming a correspondent lender for one of a variety of companies that operate their table funding business with these correspondent lenders.  I am currently a commercial lender with a few years of experience.  What peaks my interest with this is that it appears to be a great way to access capital.  In my personal rental property portfolio the biggest struggle I have is finding the capital I need.  These correspondents seem to bridge the gap between private equity and institutional lending.

My ask to everyone here is this; has anyone done this?  I am very curious to hear about some hands on experience with the process.

Thanks!
