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.

So, I got a 5% conventional loan through the amazing mortgage broker I now always work with and took a withdrawal and took the awful penalty (not a loan, because due to prior loans the available loan funds wasn't going to be enough). 

I reported him to his broker and the MLS. 

Become a licensed agent and your broker will provide them to you.

I know a great commercial broker there. 

Hello, I am looking for someone in the Kansas City, MO area to give me some information about an area (Investor, Real Estate Agent, Broker, Wholesaler, etc...).

As a Florida Mortgage Broker, my advice is Get off the build kick and find one of the many thousands of good, solid homes for sale and be happy you didn't put yourself thru the Building nightmare!

You can keep networking on BP and meet with investors, agents/brokers, and property managers.
