You need a broker that can pivot in times of change. 

With a rate cut imminent in Sep24, despite my preference for there not to be the pivot has started in the equity market now.

With the build done my wife excitedly took on the role of interior decorator.

To be clear, I never facilitate both the Real Estate & Mortgage roles in any single transaction, but I do when possible try to work within my own organization or team for cohesiveness and reliability of transactions. 

It sounds like you just need to pivot to a more passive role.

Brown's assumption of this role is one of the root causes of her statement that it "could not be done in a few hours per week".

I am currently going to college majoring in RE, and right now I am involved in an internship with a big home builder (PulteGroup) where i am learning the role of construction managers, which can help me in the future if i want to BRRRR or fix & flip.

If they respond, you can then pivot accordingly.

My wife and I are currently looking into starting a Birddogging service (at this point, we don't have the time to take on more than a birddogging type of role) and are interested in ways of finding the best shortsale prospects to then pass on to wholesalers and rehabbers.

We can pivot to seasonal or MTR (and I've had previous offers for LTR).
