E.th. you mention in the post is correct. 

Sorry if this post is confusing I’m just trying to figure it all out.

I am 16 years old and I am just starting my wholesale journey, can you please help me and answer my question that I posted on my page?

I met this real estate agent on facebook, seems very active within the real estate community in that particular area based on the posts she's engaged with. 

https://nationalmortgageprofessional.com/news/study-reveals-....Not sure BP will allow that link to post, if not just google " 10000 saved using a broker vs direct lender" and you can find the article.On the flip side, there are some banks and credit unions that could offer products that they do not allow to be brokered.

Currently we are seeing STR owners posting for sale due to reduction in prices they can get per night and the vacancy rate increasing. 

As I read your post, the reoccurring theme that came up was a screening problem. 

Also, I just came across this post: https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/921/topics/1227533-is-n...I have no idea who this person is or how accurate, but you may want to investigate if you are thinking about the UK market.
