I am new to Bigger Pockets

[Jeffery Cass]

My name is Jeff Cass. I am a Real Estate Agent with Direct Path Real Estate Advisor Team of Wainwright & Co. REALTORS in Roanoke, Virginia. I am in my second year of being a Real Estate Agent working as a Buyers Agent and am looking to go into the investment side. Not only to help out my current clients but also for my own needs. 

Although I enjoy working with people, I am realizing that I am getting tired of deals constantly falling through because of someone else's financial problems. I have only sold 6 homes this year while I have lost probably close to 15 because of people backing out or financial issues that were not initially seen when interviewing them. I do not want to rely on my clients for my financial well being. I want to take control of it. 

I feel like I have a better chance of that if they are my homes and my deals that I am working. So looking forward to what I can learn on Bigger Pockets and eventually what I can offer to others.

 You are missing a Lending Partner who is worth something. A good lender will issue a pre-qualification letter for your borrower and it will be based on a full credit review a financial review.

Personally I require 2 years taxes, w2's and a tri-merge credit report before I will issue the letter.

Very rarely does one get through my pre-qual process and fail after-words. You need a better lending partner who sees you as the client to satisfy not the borrower.
