I am also a realtor, though I haven't had any clients with properties in that area.  

As a buyer's agent I like having the knowledge that my client actually can get approved for the amount of money they have been told they qualify for.For commercial loans my clients use local banks live AVID Bank in Palo Alto or Comerica.For residential loans I like Bank of America right now. 

Hi Lucas, I'm working with a GC in Chicago who's honest and communicative with his clients.

After some research, I've been seriously considering using a company like, Memphis Invest, as I've found a lot of positive reviews about them, and spoken with a few of their clients. 

my understanding is that if it were to be damaged beyond repair you would not be able to rebuild as a sfr, only commercial so that can affect the loan of a potential client

Who ever is the investor with a broker's license running it.. good for them, not so good for the clients. 

a "finder's fee" for referring clients, or providing 'leads' or 'lists' compiled from the MLS.

Your mom should join BP as well... great place for her to meet potential clients and establish herself on here as the go-to realtor in the area.I'd also set up keyword alerts so that you can receive a notification EVERY TIME someone mentions a topic of interest.

I recognize that one can not take a passive loss if their income is over 150k; however, from what I have read, it states that if you dispose of/sell your rental that you can deduct the passive losses the year you sell. 

My only issue is, I don’t know how to find clients that are interested in investment properties.
