So understand that I will give advice but usually at a high level.

As a property manager in the DC area for 6+ years it always makes me smile when someone recognizes the true skill encompassed in what may appear to be such a simple position.

Deion what is your current lifestyle level??

I am also skilled in carpentry.

How far out in a ring radius circle depends on rural, suburban, and urban population levels.

I am not sure if I will practice real estate full time but defiantly interested in the business to furthermore my education and marketing skills to be successful in our furture goals.

They probably won't have to fire sell it at the level you are offering.

If you are saying the LO has 1 point lender paid compensation higher than the other lenders they work with, or different compensation levels with many different lenders, this could be looked upon as steering by the CFPB.If the borrower qualifies for Provident and the originators compensation is equal to all other lenders they work with Provident would be the borrowers best opportunity then the originator should send the loan to Provident because it's in the best interest of his/her client and not because the LO has to work harder.

@Glenn Banks with you skill set you should do well welcome.

I like the fact that when I do commercial deals I know what is going on with a transaction and do not have to worry about an agent not telling me something and cleaning up a mess of epic proportions.There were a few good agents but I didn't want to mess with residential on any level.
