Thank you in advance for your time and wisdom.Kind Regards,Jackson We've been brokering for the last 5 years and are now direct lenders.

I just this week changed my occupation from Broker to Lender ..

Long term realtor/broker/investor. 

Will you be able to tour properties or attend regular broker meetings that are usually held from 9-5?  

Whereas a RE Broker that puts in the time will or should be doing a majority of the bizz 5 to 10 years in by referral..

For me, I am a full time university student and part time server, so my time is somewhat limited.

My Start in Real Estate46 years ago I decided to switch “careers” and left international banking and became a licensed real estate broker.

Here is what the contract looks like --> eXp buyer Broker representation agreement

The fact that some lender brokers recomend it, I think is highly unethical. 

However, if you plan to rehab at all, you will then need a licensed contractor to provide bids on each project you plan to rehab.You will then be asked to provide a proof of any funds to close, purchase agreements, and if closing as an LLC - most times documentation on that LLC.Overall, the larger number of units (5+) makes the lending process based more off the property than the borrower, contrary to traditional single family housing.I would recommend you work with a Loan Originator/Broker who will be the medium for you to the lender/s.
