There could be a variety of reasons for time frames on jobs.

I am a budding RE investor who is researching the wide variety of options for investing, and starting to network.  

Wow, busy day & lots of variety. 

Some mortgage brokers have access to quite a variety of lenders, all with different requirements. 

I work all over the Central Texas area and utilize a wide variety of outlets to source my deals.

It does increase the marketability of a property, makes it easier for a buyer to buy and broadens the field of buyers who can't qualify today for a variety or reasons for bank/conventional financing.As to you lending when the bank won't, I suggest you have your buyer (along with you) see a lender to be "pre-qualified" to see how far out the buyer is from qualifying.

It depends on a variety of factors.

I think that this area has a significantly dense array of investors and deals and most importantly, variety to find your niche!

I am also constantly contacting companies inquiring about job opportunities to gain contacts and experience a variety of atmospheres in the investment community.

Or starting calling mortgage brokers.I'm curious about this statement:Ihave recently seen a lot of people giving away the equity they have built up over the years I think many people don't have any equity, for a variety of reasons.
