From my mom who is a broker to binge-watching a ton of home improvement shows since I was a kid.I went to a Parade of Homes once (if you haven’t been to one, definitely go!) 

@Joe Splitrock  I mean you don't see CA or Oregon Brokers advertising in Sioux Falls or Memphis to buy rentals in LA or SF or Portland right ????

You could reach out to a mortgage broker and they could let you know if you'd even qualify in the first place.

Hello, I've been a broker for a couple of years now but only use it to drive my flipping business.

Tell your agents and brokers that you will refuse to list your properties with them if they continue to syndicate your properties to Trulia and Zillow. 

I’m a real estate broker on the north side of 14 years and refer all my people to Ofenloch Mechanical.

Hello everyone,I just passed my real estate license exam and in a process of looking for a sponsoring broker in Orange County, CA area.

It is important to be able to analyze the trailing 12 month financial statement of a property and take a deeper look at the loss to lease by examining the rent roll.Ideally, you are lucky enough to have an excel version of the rent roll provided to you by the broker or the owner you are interacting with on your potential acquisition (or.. if you or someone you know is developing a character recognition software that is able to read a PDF version of a rent roll and convert it to a nice, clean excel version please let me know!).

smaller amounts aren't' really a problem unless you go to the BIG banks. get a local broker who knows how the system works.
