Lately, I've been seeing a problem with businesses/service providers who are just really dropping the ball.

You would have to a apply for and close the loan in your name, agreeing to be personally liable for the debt service.

@Samantha McCormick welcome to BP and thank you for your service!

With 200k down the debt servicing would be $3,877 monthly.List price is 800k.  

Your name, license number,brokerage (if any) and license status is publicly available.The NAR,State Board,and local boards have agreements with suppliers to give your contact information away to them so they can advertise their services to you.Be prepared for an avalanche of emails and snail mail in the next few weeks.

I suggest that new be syndicators find someone that is successfully doing it and find a way to be of service to them.  

Save half the commission when you sell by using Realmart or a similar online MLS listing service, for a flat fee of a few hundred dollars they put you on the MLS and then realtors will bring buyers to you without you having to pay a listing agent of your own.

This strategy is applicable to any market or anywhere in the world.  

Invest all of the $25k loan into ETFs (spread out to achieve some dollar-cost-averaging) and continue to invest 50% of my income (minus the debt servicing cost).

Did you encounter any opposition or criticism of their services from an attorney or accountant?
