I started my career as a commercial banker a long time ago, but have been an independent mortgage broker for nearly a decade.

Work with your commercial lender/insurer/lawyer/personal banker and see if they know of any interested parties.4. 

My brokerage is part of Anywhere RE, we have the biggest names under our umbrella (ERA, Caldwell Banker, Sotherbys, BHG, Century 21) and we have a fantastic referral program that I can hand pick an agent anywhere in the country and interview them for you to make sure they have the qualities you are looking for.

Yes, that's the plan and I have bankers lined up to invest through the CDFI but, per the guidelines, I need a track record as a fund first to qualify (the bankers also want to be second round or later).

I think that Jay Powell has thoroughly proven that he has no political allegiance, and is singularly focused on attempting to remedy the massive err made in 2021, and that he has, actually, done the least bad job by a central banker in the world from 2022 to 2025 (*hot take!).

I pushed the deal forward with multiple banks understanding that there was a good chance a banker would get pushback from underwriting later in the process.

I was going to use the service to redirect the checks to my banker.

I was a banker for years, so I know the inside scoop on how a bank views a HELOC.

Plug it in through bankrates calculators and run it compared to the amortized mortgage ******** that bankers blindly push on people because that is what they have been trained to do.

Start collecting contact cards and fill that phone with everything from plumbers and painters to bankers and lawyers. sorry this is so long and drawn out.
