Since you say you are a pushover, I assume it is because you have a conscience, so how, other than using a PM, do you square this internally? 

With multiple international trade routes via land, rail and sea.

Much more inventory and many people back to traveling internationally. 

They will tell you that "FHA doesn't allow for triplexes," they will probably NOT say the truth which is that they have an internal overlay stating that they (that particular lender) elect not to do FHA loans on triplexes. 

There is a shipyard in Mobile , as well as, the City is building an International airport, so there is a lot of need for short term, inexpensive housing.

You are able to use debt financed by an asset for a down payment but maybe they have an internal rule that blocks that. 

Think hospitals with traveling nurses, large companies with interns or transitional workers, etc.

If you need any international work then you'll not find a finer firm than Susan Poskus at Roberge/Poskus in St.

If we had a leak of this magnitude our home would sink or there would be serious internal damage.

Now no one can tell you how to create your business, a big part of it comes out of working in the business over time.Just for "working the deals" area you mentioned, there are multiple tasks and systems that could be built out within each of these:- Internal/External Administration (loan boarding, document management, uploading data into your database, letter campaigns, recording an Assignment, etc)- Borrower Management (discovering if properties are vacant, borrower intent, etc)- Potential Exit Strategies (which are based on the asset category you're working within - but could include processes for REO's, Loan Modifications, Deed-in-Lieu, Foreclosure, etc)- Risk Management (senior lien monitoring - with 2nd liens, taxes, insurance, general legal, compliance, etc)It may be too much to put into just one forum post but this should start give you an idea of the tasks at hand.
