Much appreciated.Respectfully,Matt Columbus has a great network of investors, agents, and a very unique position form a national scale.

Bottom line what im doing right now is still brrring very unique deals I have duplexes utilized as quads with the same concept. 

If they do have some "uniqueness" to their profile, then a mortgage broker should be able to provide different options than a traditional, large, national bank.  

You never know a person's situation.A couple other reasons why a person would seller fi:1) they have had other offers "fall out" due to any number of issues with financing2)  they have a "unique" property, which may be difficult to sell using institutional financing.

Pursuing Section 8 rentals & tenants is a TOOL, not a strategy - despite whatever the self-appointed "gurus" publish online.Section 8 comes with it's own unique problems which many newbies don't take the time to understand.You can PM us if you want to discuss further.

We did however have to be licensed with the division of hotels and restaurants. 

On the other hand, distant property management calls for efficient systems, trustworthy local partners, and a thorough comprehension of the unique dynamics of the market.Appreciation Potential: It's important to fully investigate and comprehend the local economy, employment growth, and development plans, even if other markets may provide better appreciation potential.

I've been buying larger commercial deals for a while, but I still acquire a unique short term rental property on occasion.

It's also beneficial to explore regional or community credit unions in your area, as they might have unique offerings tailored to local investment needs. 

Some larger broker outlets will give the option to have the loan processed and underwritten with them but this isn't the norm (UWM comes to mind as a big lender who now gives the broker this option of taking care of all of the processing or certain aspects of the processing which they call "processor assist" - this is fairly unique as far as I'm aware however).There are so many little variables to every situation but generally speaking, if an MLO is skipping over the spot where his/her license hangs and taking a deal somewhere direct, there wouldn't be a compliant way to pay the MLO.
