Even as a broker there are many sleazy Account Executives that try to win my business with terms or extra compensation.

I have a robust team of mortgage lenders, title companies and RE attorneys.

Quote from @La Toya Flowers Butler: I'm a newbie to real estate investing, looking to learn, cultivate business relationships, and invest!  

For govvy loans, the Due on Sale clause will be available to your note holder - having an LLC take title to the deed (most commonly via a quit claim) will expose you to this clause.

Additionally, the rental arbitrage strategy is not investing, its operating a business.... an extremely risky business.

The process takes about the same amount of time since an appraisal and title work is generally still required before underwriting and funding the deal. 

.- Working a W2 as a firefighter, posting and consuming content- Leaving my W2 to dive deep into real estate investing and working as an agent... and still watching/posting content all while business was ok - Deleting social media apps (one have one on my phone that I use 10 minutes or less a day), diving deep into building my business and skills which have drastically increased due to pure focus and increasing my business significantly- moral of the story... focus on the things you need to do in business (dollar productive activities) and life experiences while reducing consumption will increase your success  

- sounds like your friend's PMC pays this way.If W-2, why isn't your business properly insured to cover him?.

Naturally your property must sell before you can take title to the new one, but nothing prevents you from getting it under contract and make the process as smooth as possible.  

I'm from the Southern, MI area and I am also building my real estate media business, Elicit Real Estate Media Co.
