Fast forward 2-3 years, about half of the properties I sold have come back around with the new owners trying to get out of them, some to no avail.Having said that, even though brokers looked at me like I had two heads when I told them we were underwriting an agency execution, someone besides myself must have been using agency debt because agency volume hit caps every year during that period.  

Profit can be achieved by volume and/or price.
