Oh the wonders of modern technology...

Hello Mike I have a very good amount of experience as far as knowledge of the process from the regulatory, underwring, retail side, wholesale side, what’s a deal, what’s not a deal, putting the numbers together, finding sellers and attracting buyers, contracts and but when it comes to thelending it gets tricky because I know there are always creative ways of using other peoples money to fund.. so I’m open to hear new innovative ideas.. but somethings sound to good to be true but it’s posible..
