My go-to with smaller value properties is a commercial loan, which usually is based on either 15% or 20% down and my favorite lender locally for this is currently between 5%-6% depending on the rate-lock period (between 3-10 years) and the loan is amortized over 20 years.That's my go-to strategy. 

Hey Andrew,You can utilize the Find a Lender tool here on BP.

If you want to collect a commission you need to be licensed with FINRA.Capital Raising: Understanding Commissions, Referral Fees, and Finders Fees | American Association of Private Lenders (aaplonline.com)

You can check out reviews of others in the area.

Take that for what it's worth. lol - PreQualification TBD letter versus underwritten lender Pre Approval.

Almost all of the properties went back to the lender (banks - note#2) or sold at the courthouse steps. 

The lender also ran the numbers to see if I would qualify and the numbers below reflect info given by me to him and his calculations.

Hear any other reviews/ etc?

It all depends, this is why I always review potential client's books what is the best course of action.I personally do not like QBO for real estate (I make it clear in all my posts lol) I just renewed my certification just because most people can't afford the PM software with accounting such as AppFolio and Yardi.

So if you are looking to meet agents, wholesalers, maybe a couple lenders, or some investors that have done a few flips or own a couple SFRs, you will find many people there.This isn't to say they are bad, but in the several dozens I have attended, they have not been worth my time, professionally or personally.
