The whole lending industry was very backlogged with new loan applications.

They don’t really want to work, they want hot and ready leads, and tend to be quick to reduce commission, which messes up the industry.

Note, EIDL loans are only available to businesses without access to credit elsewhere, such as existing lines of credit.Eligible industries include, but are not limited to, hotels, recreational facilities, manufacturers, sports vendors, owners of rental property, restaurants, retailers, travel agencies and wholesalers.

New industries?

My circumstance is a little different than yours, I am on the buy-side of a commercial industrial building in San Jose.

They are great at selling but most are not investors.This is not to say this is industry wide, but just remember this: if this person is making so much money doing what they are teaching why are they out their not doing it versus teaching me?

Industry rumors have OpenDoor, Offerpad, and other i-Buyers following Zillow's lead.

It's great to hear that real estate investing has been so transformative for you. 

I had to learn the hard way that this can be a very dog eat dog industry and often times people won’t be willing to help you.

I feel that no brokerage is really going to help you that much...it is more about you seeking the help you need from professionals in the industry.
