Find a LO who can spell "delayed financing exception" without a spell checker or google, and go from there.

Even more so with a LO. 

I'll be in Phoenix, Camp Verde and Flagstaff.

I'll assume that is not the case -- usually when someone is silent about the rate, that means they have no complaints about it.Again, I've never seen a LO/lender elect to disclose it like that.

Then you can send them out with an agent to pick the house they want which you and your partner buy for them.So find people who are motivated and wrap them up under a LO.

How long ago was it that you were a LO?

I'm Mark Tabah, currently residing in Redondo Beach, CA and working in Rancho Palos Verdes, CA.  

.- I've never worked as a LO, but I think I can learn the job in a reasonable time frame.- I have a good understanding of finances and nearly 7y in US. - Purchased a property, worked with realtors, lenders, etc...

Why I think you should stick to established processes/systems/people: I know a LO that tried putting her feet in the hard money and facilitating private mortgage world, on her own with her own bootstraps like you are suggesting.

Sometimes all that is needed is a LOE or letter of explanation to the court that this is not an arms-length deal, and that you're getting a "family" discount.
