Thank you Bigger Pocket friends for encouraging me to take a risk with working with a real estate agent/ broker who is also an investor. I look forward to working with him soon. There is also a possibility he can ment...

Now, IF one of us lands a new job where we're the guy/girl 100% in charge of a massive operation, maybe for a giant hedge fund buying up rentals all over the USA, or at least in multiple markets, then I'd say go for it with the ratios and %'s as much as you can.

I just about went through the roof when she accused me of not being "fair".  

You might want to back up a little and not accused the HML because you are the one needing the funds and bad news travel fast if he put the word out on the streets you might not get anyone to help you.Joe Gore

I've been a "Girl Friday" to Presidents and Owners of companies for years, which means I've done it all at one time or another. 

My day job is at a local commercial architecture firm, and my night and weekend job is being a mom to two girls.

Whatever process you decide will lead you to the "best" candidate should be put in writing so you can't be accused of discrimination later.You are not required by law to process them in the order they are received and then take the first qualified applicant (meaning the first applicant who meets your minimum qualifications).

You have the right to ask questions too, such as: EXACTLY what law or regulation are you accusing me of violating?
