Get together with a mortgage broker, they'll be able to give you all your options and get you pre-approved so you'll know exactly what you can do.

Is a Mortgae Broker License enough to do this?

Hey Kevin, I am a real estate broker in Long Beach CA.

Great customer service. 

So i quickly tossed in 8 properties that popped up in my custom MLS searches that im starting to program into the MLS for different areas.

I am looking for an AWESOME agent/ broker in Raleigh, NC who specializes in working with residential investors.

One idea I was thinking about is getting to know some local funeral homes and inquiring with them if the have customers that might have a relative that has passed and has a house that the family wants to get rid of.

I project manage now, which isn't necessarily easier or better, it's just more efficient with my time as I have other businesses that generate revenue, including new construction/custom remodels and a thriving real estate agency business.Contractors have always been the biggest challenge for me in the business. 

I would suggest connecting with brokers as they will be able to better guide you.

I am also a full time contractor working with my customer base in NYC and investors in NYC.
