Here’s how to find a broker you can trust:Ask for Referrals: Reach out to fellow investors or real estate agents for recommendations.Check Credentials: Look for brokers who are licensed and members of professional organizations, such as the National Association of Mortgage Brokers (NAMB).Review Their Track Record: Ask about their experience with real estate investment loans and request client testimonials.Interview Multiple Brokers: Prepare questions about their lender network, fees, and typical loan turnaround times.Evaluate Their Communication: Choose someone who listens to your needs and provides clear, honest advice.4.

I respect the experience here and am eager to contribute as I grow.

I’ve been thinking about partnering with a successful wholesaler and seeing if they will expand their operation to include the zip codes I am interested in.Example:  I would like to partner and give money to a successful Detroit or Texas wholesaler and see if they are willing to add my Georgia target market to their operations.Before moving forward, I wanted to get some feedback and advice from those who are wholesalers or who have partnered with wholesalers.Has anyone ever heard or have experience in a partnership like this?
