Another broker on the team onboarded this client and transferred them to my portfolio due to capacity issues.I have since realigned expectations with this client and addressed all of their concerns.

Quote from @Paige Corsello: Do any brokers out there know of any lenders who offer 80% TLV on a noo SFH cash out refi?

If the property requires rehab, the Realtor and/ or Mortgage Broker will suggest applying, for a FHA 203k Loan.

Reaching out to a loan broker or two could be pretty beneficial too.

Rather, they are four former commercial real estate brokers, with one of them also an attorney in their 60s or 70s that have a true hands-on style of mentoring.

I have never done a transaction, as a buyer, seller, real estate broker or lender where there was no equity or negative equity as per the buyer in the deal.  

I am a property manager as well as a broker specializing in acquisitions out of Tampa FL. 

Its worth having your brokers license if you want to make money helping other people buy and sell.

Realtors have likely walked through and done a broker walk through.

I would recommend working with lenders that hold an NMLS or RE broker's license.
