I really want to try it, by setting up a teams - an agent and a mortgage broker.

Thats the problem I'm facing. the family mortgage broker flat said she doesn't and wont do VA mortgages... something not being licensed to do-so.How do I look up a broker in my area thats reliable?

I am looking for a good list broker that can provide me with a list of people who would be potential private money lenders in Southern California.

I understand that most Realtors split a portion of their commission with their Broker per transaction.

Your broker, where your license is, should have their own "referral fee agreement" form they use on a regular basis.

If not, what if they paid market rent through a rental broker?

,Are you a broker or an agent?

For you veteran commercial agents/brokers/investors, would you please share your experiences of how you managed to succeed early on in your career?

Here in NE FL we buy for investors all the time, some at auctions and in foreclosure where your not allowed inside or the property is too far to visit, HUD registered brokers can bid anywhere in the state

They have in-house loans as well as ones they broker for other banks.
