@Kyle DeutschmannThank you for the advice and support, I will definitely look into these avenues of information.

Many thanks to all for the support!

Thanks for any support!!

The Berkeley City Council is set to vote on an ordinance banning tenant background checks next month, and activists plan to propose similar measures in Emeryville and Alameda County.A bill that would have prohibited landlords across California from asking about tenants’ criminal records was pulled earlier this week before making it out of committee.Several Oakland council members spoke out in support of the Fair Chance Housing Ordinance on Tuesday.

Now the only challenge is finding the necessary capital to support a scale up strategy!

My client is doing a portfolio loan of 6 properties for a refinance and 3 of the 6 properties came in about 10-15% lower-than-expected and the comps support the opposite.I know people that give the appraiser a few hundred dollars to get on their good side, but I question if this is legal, lol.

I see posts with specific questions that people can answer directly, get better support :) 

The software engineers are hired to support these loan originators, not the other way around. 

Another thing you can do is to ask for support from your mentor or colleagues in your brokerage.

Sellers have to asses odds when choosing a buyer (do they have a good broker and support system, do they have the funds ready to go, is their proposed loan terms reasonable for the market are they trying a hair brained loan that has a little chance of happening?)
