It wouldn't hurt to set up time to meet with agents, property managers, lenders, and others while you’re visiting your markets of interst.

Lenders often have strict policies when a property is in a FEMA-designated disaster area to protect their risk, even if the property isn’t directly impacted.

this means getting off the Internet and going to meetups, meeting other investors, seeing properties, looking on market and off, and putting offers in. 

Quote from @Anthony Poulin: @Abel CurielAbel, great to meet you. 

Currently, the maximum LTV for a cash-out refinance on a 2-4 unit property is 75% LTV, some lenders can go up to 80% on a case-by-case basis but qualifications are much more strict (FICO, DSCR, Property Type, Market, etc.).. but it can be done. 

@Asseille OdelCFRI.netCheck out the calendar of events and start volunteering - it’s the best way to meet people there.

Be a good landlord though and you will meet many quality friends.  

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 want to help meet the need for affordable housing.
