Shame on you, angry broker you!

Over the last 17 yrs, most of my advertising and loan closings have been in PBC, Broward and Dade.With that said, 90% of Mortgage Brokers, including my friends who are Mortgage Brokers, with the except of a few, are just as lost in space as a typical Bank of America loan officer and realtor.

My real estate career consists of many years in custom home building, mostly on the design and management side. 

I’m a born/raised chicago guy that’s been a broker for 14 years, as well as recently becoming a part-time investor.

I have a broker that specializes in the area.

@Graham Richard AndersonAs a licensed Broker, I have bought less than 10 percent of my deals off MLS in the last 2 years.

Then meet with the broker and offer YOUR price. crunch the numbers as if you need to do the improvement and work on the Total COST base. 1963 Building may need re wiring and plumbing, new appliances etc etc - Tel all of that to the Broker/ Seller.Put an offer in with building inspection contingency, even if they want you to buy it As-Is.Make sure to put other contingencies according to your requirements. 

Plan is to reach out to brokers and PM firms in those areas to establish relationships that could lead to off-market properties. 

I have been an active commercial broker in NYC with over 60M in sales and I'm also trying to invest throughout the Tri-State area.  

You are just 1 guy while they are potential repeat customers.
