My question is, If one is to be strictly commission based, Is finding a broker with mortgage industry similar to finding a broker with real estate?

I find DSCR most lenders are 8 to even 9% for max leverage on 5+ right now.

First off, find out what you want, and go about finding a market to fill that need, then go about finding an agent in that market.

On a recent episode of the podcast, I remember hearing one of the hosts discussing this town as a good place to invest but have not been able to find the show notes.

@Steven HsuBigger Pockets is a great place to find a real estate tax accountant.A good real estate accountant can save you thousands of dollars by leveraging entity selection and formation, tax deductions, cost segregations, bonus depreciation and tax planning.I recommend finding an accountant who specializes in real estate taxation, business taxation, financial planning and tax planning.You may want to consider working with your accountant remotely to expand your options.I would also recommend looking for a accountant willing to work with you throughout the year.

However, I cannot find any court cases where this is currently being challenged.

Finding properties to me is about 5-10% of the work in closing a property. 

That might be a way to start, finding recently sold land on zillow, back trace agents to sold listings and tell them you might have some land coming up soon and see if they have buyers.

We have a Chicago general contracting business, and handling the field operations is a ridiculously heavy lift.As far as finding customers I think you'll have some good success with gorillia marking at some of the local investor meetups.
