Most agents/ brokers either don't understand wholesaling, or don't like it cause they think it cuts into their potential commissions.

I was a mortgage broker from 2004-2009, my father is a contractor and I have several friends that are realtors - so, the industry as a whole is not new to me. 

Hello everyone,I recently got in touch with a mortgage broker so he could run my numbers and tell me what I could afford to purchase.

Specific tips will depend on the nuances of your market, property type and property and I would recommend talking specifics with local pro's (brokers/investors) to get their opinions based on the property type/market you're focused on. 

You should have signed a buyer broker agreement.

The sales and marketing process is pretty much the same, requiring the same time and effort to get contracts signed and negotiated, etc.Don't forget, the agent likely has to pay a sizable chunk of that $1500 to his broker and possibly franchise and marketing fees - not to mention E&O and his own overhead.

However, a broker will get you much further.As for a broker in your area, there will be different brokerages that are stronger in specific types of product.

In fact most the big guys I know are using customized rules for their specific buying criteria.

If you have millions to invest then a commercial broker can help along the way purchasing a property.

Also, while it's certainly doable to do an airbnb situation you'll have more vacancy and downtime and more to manage in terms of customer issues and cleaning.
