I am a student at RTU and I have been given a task to interview  investors and ask them questions on making the right financial choices, when it comes to investing in a business or start-up.

Interview gcs, lenders and realtors to learn and form that bond.

Great interview. 

I've acquired 2 certifications I needed in order to qualify for the company I really wanted to work for, which I now have been interviewed and told they're going to take me on, but not until they begin hiring on in 2 months.I've been doing interior painting on taskrabbit for SOME income, but overall I have really depleted almost all of my savings.

Then interview another and see what their fees are - all of them.

Interview 10 contractors.For the first 5-7 interview - pick those who you are less likely to work with.

I posted this challenge without seeing that Brandon and David interviewed Cameron Herold, author of Vivid Vision. 

You are interviewing them as much as they are interviewing you.

You would have to talk with Mortgage Bankers and Brokers to get access to those kinds of loans, also interview your Loan Officer to make sure they have done a few of these, as the average Loan Officer may not have some experience with these loan types.Or you can do a commercial loan, most likely with a Mortgage Banker or a Broker.

After you've established a list, interview the brokerages and figure out which fits your workstyle best.
