I am an out-of-state investor so I am just looking for someone for the occasional job that doesn't need to be done by a specialist when I get a call from a tenant and maybe some work when I acquire a property or have turnover. 

*Truly understand both conventional and commercial mortgages, their underwriting process, and sit down with a mortgage specialist to run your DTI and other key factors.For Example: Fannie currently allows 10 loans at once, however underwriting guidelines get tougher as you move up to that 10: You’ll need higher credit scores, 6 month cash reserves for each property, and larger down payments.My new plan: Time was ticking; Hard Money loans are short interest loans that result in a balloon payment (the balance of the note) at the end of the term.

I also have my own investment properties,So I have skin in the game!

@Ryan Hebert  I have not done any deals with Mass Housing, but have with USDA.The risk with FHA (3.5% down), Mass Housing (3% down) and especially USDA and VA (0% down) is that the buyer has very little skin in the game.  

If it does help, when working as a loan specialist, all we needed was proof of income to approve a loan.

Make sure the borrower has skin in it.

@Kreighton Reed is a banking specialist in this area and is our top recommendation.

this type of behavior can be common because many in that industry are in and out quick, and have no skin in the game, so they aren't looking for long term relationships.

But if you need a referral to a rockstar VA specialist there who honorably serves our military, PM me and I will connect you. 

While all agents are licensed to sell investments, and most residential agents feel qualified to help with investments, true rock star investment specialists inherently bring an extra set of skills and tools to the table.
