We'd probably have to take a look the global financial atleast with respect to his balance sheet in order to determine the most efficient capital structure for his needs.I am sure you can get a lot of stated loan or private/hard money products but that would probably not be very efficient for your client.

I had met very respectful agents.

That assumes that you are actually going to rent the house and keep it in respectable shape (*cough* unlike the out of towners *cough*)

Possible reasons why the BP stopped responding is frustration with the borrower, change of circumstances, a lender who is actually a broker, found a better, more profitable client to work with, etc.I can't count the number of times borrowers waste time then disappear, without any consideration or respect of the lender or broker.

So it's definitely outdated - but would you call a business owner who doesn't adapt his business to changing environments lazy?

Flippers who do not respect that standard of practice, often get cut off from the services of the good agents pretty quickly as their name gets around the area.
