This would be the agent representing both sides, this happens a lot (state/local boards and broker has to support this).

We just had an incident… a guest tried to steal money from the host , my mother in law -long story but lied stole cheated while staying and furnished finders will do very little to back you up, they’re like a hands off broker essentially, just do your due diligence and have good contracts in place, and research / background check really well if you use FFinders.

Lots of good brokers/agents on here from down there.

Acting like a broker dealer is scarily common.

Either wholesalers, agents, brokers, auctions. 

I wonder if I could reach out to any local brokers who would know of investors that perform these loans, since none of the traditional lenders do.  

I'm a local broker and PM -- The first lien is indeed "first" position, being it was owned free and clear prior to recordation. 

Some lenders will base off the "mix" of commercial vs residential by sqft and some will base off of rent, and some will base off of the unit counts, so you'd want to take advantage of the lender/broker that can fit your scenario in the most favorable way possible.Is the property fully occupied?

I'm still trying to understand the best use of this platform :)I'm currently working with a mortgage broker in OH, but it's always good to have more points of view.

An agent/broker/wholesaler found them and needs paid so it's probably not a homerun deal, but base hits can add up.
