I am not a coach / mentor nor do I play one on TV.... or have any desire to be.however I have done business and am personal friends with some of the biggest names in the industry over the last 20 years.. most would be vilified on BP so I wont mention their names.

Network and learn as much as you can from others, educate yourself, select a market, pick the niche where you want to play, and go for it.

As I interview with different brokerages as a potential new Broker / Real Estate Agent, are there any specifics I should keep an eye out for, or demand from, my future brokerage? 

I also enjoy playing the guitar, basketball and doing work around the house.Looking forward to getting to know y'all. 

Regardless, the demand as you said is growing, so there likely isn’t a wrong way to go.

My experience tells me if you project negative cash flow it’s not such an attractive deal and you might be overpaying, unless it’s more of a value play for long term appreciation.

You dont have 1/4" to "play with" on the end on that cabinet.

Time to play offense and not defense. 

In the last couple of years, we changed our perspective on this, and now treat tenants with respect, and therefore have the right to demand the same from them.If they disrespect my property, then they have fooled me in our screening and such. 

Best regards, if note pays off early who ever orders payoff demand is going to have pulled title they will see your assignment and then will contact that bene and order a payoff.. they get their money you get the delta.. as your in second position basically.Now this is were it can get tricky if fraudsters get in this and don't record the assignments and the note holder who borrowed against it does not pay of  the underlying..
