Currently we are seeing STR owners posting for sale due to reduction in prices they can get per night and the vacancy rate increasing. 

I will give you a call this week to the number in your post. 

https://nationalmortgageprofessional.com/news/study-reveals-....Not sure BP will allow that link to post, if not just google " 10000 saved using a broker vs direct lender" and you can find the article.On the flip side, there are some banks and credit unions that could offer products that they do not allow to be brokered.

You don't ever want to double book and have to cancel one of them.And the guest giving a phone number in the first message like in your original post is against the rules and the guest knows it. 

Great post!

That said, my main question is, can you recommend a good mortgage brokerage company that offers all the training points you outlined in your post?

Money now is very good because you are new and ready to do all the work, but the examples you'll hear about are people posting on BP saying, "well, I did all the work and they got a lot or most of the profit." 

According to @Andy Sabisch's original post, I think he is asking for advice on how to confirm the veracity of the neighboring tenant's claim.  

That's the reason there are so many fourplexes and so few fiveplexes or even sixplexes.From what I gather, post offices and utility companies rarely care much about the permitting/zoning issues, so it probably wouldn't have been hard to get those set up.

Post on Craigslist seems like another 'guru' but I cannot put my finger on it, he seems to be following Cherif method, not sure what to make of it.
