I can say in our case, it ticked me off tossing money away after getting information that was a one-size-fits-all that did not work as intended in my market, scripted coaching that again did not work for what we were looking to do and finally after getting a kiss off from the customer service group when I voiced my experience, I knew that we had wasted a good deal of money. 

I was able to have an educated conversation with the mortgage broker at the bank thanks to everything I've learned so far. 

Instead of recommendations and professional advice from her I found myself with more questions than answers often times, and her newness and lack of confidence left me feeling like I couldn't trust her.I think you're already 4 steps ahead of her as you're here asking the questions and are engaged on the BP forums which in my opinion, besides having a great broker with seasoned agents to learn from in person, is the MOST important thing.

I would suggest to speak with a broker or someone familiar with the process and have them review a full package and try to look for any possible red flags in advance. 

Thank you, MargaretChallenges: Finding a boutique local broker that is or has an agent that would be a mentor for investing/wholesaling hasn't panned out for me.
