I jumped at this opportunity buy getting my license, signing up with her broker, only to discover all she wanted was the sign on bonus from me joining that office.

I have a few properties and am also a mortgage broker, happy to answer any questions about general investing or financing options.

I've done a couple of direct loans, but for the most part, I work with a mortgage broker who brings deals to me.

Do they have solid banking relationships and broker relationships to lease out the units. 

Many of my customers who are traveling nurses buy condos or townhomes in Florida as vacation homes, then rent them out when they're not in town.This system has proven to be very lucrative, as it allows them to service the mortgage debt and generate a good cash flow.

Working with a great broker can also help as they will know how best to represent your interests and play the game.

I've been a broker forever, and remember the early 80's with 16% interest rates.

I need to source the data myself, run the numbers, check the calculations, eventually build my own custom spreadsheet etc. 

@John Voychick I'm so sorry to hear about your experience, it really pains me to hear about people getting subpar treatment and customer service I always listen to people's experiences to make sure that I can prevent these kinds of things from happening to my clients.

Here are my recommendations:1) Check with your insurance broker first.
