I am thankful for all of the advice I've received on this platform and grateful for this community.

I did it 2 years ago. rarely get cold called/texted on tons of parcels owned. 

Is there any advice that I could receive in this being my first-real estate investment? 

I also have lots of texts to back up my case that she represented the whale client as being a shared client. 

Or, in most metro areas, you can obtain the list of permits that have been issued, and see who is receiving permits. 

To be fair, I've encountered situations where the Section 8 rent received was higher than what cash paying tenants were paying.

I have my own designs and after uploading them and sending them out for a few rounds of marketing I eventually received some un-deliverables and they were barely legible along with their being major defects during printing.

From the reports I receive, the real estate investment market is poised to be very interesting. 

My guess is that the "broker fee" is actually points for the rate.The underwriting fee seems typical.Alternatively to help with closing costs you could ask the broker to take a higher interest rate to receive more of a credit back. 

We communicate mostly via text msg.
