Yes, you can get 10 conforming, if you go to a bank or a broker not familiar with investors they might tell you 4, but its 10.The underwriting changes when you get to loan 5, and frankly its more of a headache for the broker (and the borrower), so a lot of lenders don't handle 5-10.Some of the rules that change beside the reserves, no cash out on NOO after your to mortgage 5, your mid score has to be a 720.As far as portfolio lenders,,as many as they will write you, and when you finish with that lender go to the next,,the limits are on conforming (say Fannie/Freddie) loans

I don't know if I want to exclude me working with a listing broker.

Big data hasn't been technically or practically possible for a 'very long time'.Even with today's computing power, it takes a large server farm to ingest and make use of big data.Unstructured data analysis, like video and speech analytics, also hasn't been technically sound for very long either.What data sources and file types are you bringing in and what are some of the examples?

Be sure to check with the licensing authority (DOS in New York) and investigate all court cases that involve the property manager and the principal broker.

There is also the option to provide your favorite agent/broker with a new listing.Good luckPaul

The reason I do this is because most brokers will sit down and enter only minimal comments.

A mortgage broker will help with this some…but even the best mortgage brokers don’t’ have access to ALL portfolio loans out there.

Have you considered getting a broker's license and going that route?

If you want a sure fire way to tick off a broker/agent, have them show you one of their listings then write the offer through another broker/agent.
