I am a buy and hold investor in Florida looking for an asset based lender to refinance a Condo .

Never a bad idea to look at the comps - this should help give you some direction based on your specific market.

Alternatively you can hire someone with a broker's license to be your "broker of record" to open your brokerage.

Banks and alternative lenders (non bank) are a possibility.

If I get multiple apps I will start with the ones that appear to be the best qualified on paper (based on income, length of lease desired, past rental and employment history) and I'll run those first.  

I then go to Trulia to create the same ad, then Hotpad, etc...Syndication is not worth it because if you look at the syndicated ads, they are only showing very limited information and pictures on the syndicated sites, but if you go to those sites and place a "new" ad, there is more "real estate" for your property on that web site.

Martin writes about measuring your current cash flow based on your current equity. 

Not to get off topic here but I find many members of the BP community spend more money and time creating complexed webs of entities than my former employer who owned over a billion dollars worth of real estate.

So is your half of the profit based on you finding the deals, and negotiating the deals?

This gives me a Net profit of 82K which is an Average Annual ROI of 57.4% based on the total 18k investment.
