So section 3400.103(X)(x) will read:An individual “takes a residential mortgage loan application†if the individual receives a residential mortgage loan application for the purpose of deciding (or influencing or soliciting the decision of another) whether to extend an offer of residential mortgage loan terms to a borrower or prospective borrower (or to accept the terms offered by a borrower or prospective borrower in response to a solicitation), whether the application is received directly or indirectly from the borrower or prospective borrower.

I would strongly suggest reading the book "How to win friends and influence people" by Dale Carnegie.

I was influenced by the many posts on whether an investor benefits from getting a brokers license and recently completed the classes and state/national exams.

I have some influences that do business but don't follow the stringent line you two model!

Work on your people skills ('How To Win Friends & Influence' is a GREAT book for this) and you'll barely have to worry about your deals being stolen.

Be very careful, I suggest you not bite off more than you can lose, rehabs are locally influenced.

We always keep in mind where we are in our cost projections as we all know that the end Apprasised Value should influence our decisions.
