A mortgage broker is one who is in the business of dealing in mortgages or notes, it is their primary source of income, they advertise and seek out note purchases and sales, there is a thin line between being a broker or in the mortgage business and being a personal investor. 

However, a huge portion of the extra monthly payments would be offset by new rental income from my current primary residence.
