I understand that everyone has unique goals, and responses will vary depending on those objectives.

GoalMy objective would be to go with a MFH, 2-4 units, higher would be better.

Financial objective- 100% to 400% cash on cash or don't do it.

You will rush, pay people who you think can help you, you will try creative finance and sub to and fail, you will be too eager to grab shiny objects.

The relationship between a broker and real estate investors is built on trust, transparency, and a mutual understanding of goals, which ultimately leads to successful transactions and long-term partnerships.Firstly, a competent private money broker begins by understanding the unique needs and objectives of the real estate investor.

Your objective- Learn, learn, learn.   

Remember, no system is perfect, so avoid the temptation of constantly chasing after the next shiny object.

However it still doesn't solve my other objective.

Can the lender object to you closing in a Trust?

They know the market, understand contracts and law, are experts at negotiation, provide a second (objective) set of eyes, and more.
