So you have financial outfits getting involved in businesses that had long been left to small owners or specialized funds.

You might also meet someone that could be a potential business partner.

Alot of selfish liars on this post, we all know most ppl who get into the business started from nothing to make something. 

My company does the following:• Free and simple MLO Licensing (22 hours online or in person and you choose your schedule)• Mortgage team to handle the backend (meaning, no structuring, underwriting or processing loans) • Competitive mortgage rates backed a company with 20+ years in the business• Downline revenue stream on the lending side (similar to EXP model.)• They do not have to change brokeragesIn my mind, there aren't many cons to this.

I have found that locally, this is where you can see other homeowners who needed the same thing done and often times they have someone who isn't big on the internet or on a list, but is reliable and cost-efficient and they appreciate the business.

Lots of people invest and house hack, or have a related side business like being an agent, or have a mix of self-managed properties and properties that are professionally managed.

Unavailability example:  Residential Real Estate is a 7-day-a-week business for the most part.

Thinking about using it for my wholesaling business going forward.  

But this deal had nothing to do with their business.

That’s my job, to represent my client’s best interests, negotiate to help them best achieve their goals, abiding by all the laws, Fair Housing and Code of Ethics along the way.If someone doesn’t want to sign an agreement with me, they are free to consider another Realtor® who has a different business model and practices, or even go forth unrepresented.
