@Kelby Norfleet pardon the delay in responding - missed this earlier. I chose MLO SAFE course. 

Hi everyone, I am a newly licensed Mortgage Loan Officer in Texas. I am looking for recommendations for Direct Lenders or Mortgage Brokerages who sponsor newly licensed MLOs. I have experience as an SFR investor (rentals), as a realtor as well as corporate experience in mortgage lending and servicing practices from a large bank - all of which I will leverage to grow my MLO career. I prefer to NOT work with large banks, looking for small to mid sized direct lenders or mortgage brokers with training. Thank you in advance for your recommendations.

Hi @Jessica Carcamo _ I would suggest a buy and hold rental property. I live in Texas (DFW area) and there are still opportunities to buy cash flowing &/or appreciating properties in this market. I don't think 55k is a small amount and with proper due diligence and searching, you can put that money to good use and see it grow over time. As you may know, buy and hold rental properties strategy is a long term play. Some investors don't like it and want to be able to get their returns in a much shorter timeframe hence flip and fix is more attractive to them. I have seen good returns in both cash flow and appreciation in this market. Don't give up and don't get discouraged. Feel free to DM me if you decide you want to explore this DFW for potential rental investment. I mostly deal with SFR but I have other contacts here incase its out of my area I can refer you too as well.

Best, Christine
