Hey BP, I'm a local broker and investor.

Are they a broker or a direct lender?

I'll only add when talking to brokers have a "buy box" defined and research commercial deals to understand it as best you can before you have your first meeting or your broker contact will likely consider you to be a low-chance buyer and not take you seriously.

I will assume positive intent here that this is not the experience you intend for your customers.

You want both customers.  

Property managers cannot touch your money, It has to go into a separate account managed by the broker.

This is more than enough to do PML's whether you originate or purchase from a broker is up to you.

After months of reassemble and some customization work, the property sold for a decent profit.
