Do established agencies even hire newbies?

I will give the county a call in the morning (calling a government agency, what a blast). 

I am a Marine Corps veteran who was in the  administrative field and I am currently working as a Human Resource Specialist with a government agency in the DFW area.  

She has established an excellent track record with the foster care system in the area and is seeking an investor to secure a home from which she can provide the services that are required, and funded by state and local agencies. 

In my area, local banks are hungry for small apartment deals and they'll be happy to work with you if you have a decent deal.I'm a bit late to this but if you take a pro forma of the 6 unit to a lender I'm sure they'd give you a pre-approval letter.I've also never been asked for that though unless the seller was a large bank/ government agency.

Certainly not a mainstream bank - does that mean I'm looking at private money?

I understand that on the phone and in person I need to disclose this...I'm asking specifically about mailings.If so, do I actually have to put my name/agency on the direct mail...or just that I'm an agent?

The most egregious error in the last credit cycle was the lack of a gatekeeper with meaningful influence, whether it’s the rating agencies, bank regulators, or the CMBS B-Piece buyers.

One of my friends swears about using an agency to do all the above work, but they take a big chunk of the profit too.If anyone has suggestions to improve the above caveats, please chime in!

Even if you disclose that you are an agent who is not acting in any form of agency with the seller, but instead looking to make a profit you can still run into trouble.If the commission thinks that you used your "superior" knowledge over a "regular" citizen to steal equity you can end up in hot water.Ex: You tell Granny you will give her 20k for her house then you flip the contract to somebody for 40k.
