With experience as a Mortgage Banker in my past, I naturally have real estate conversations with my clients and think I can provide a whole new level of service to them by having duel registration as a Financial Advisor AND a Real Estate Agent.

The first level has 4 bedroom/ 2 bathrooms and garage for 3 cars.

Census data is very interesting (for example you can track rental rate increases and mixture changes down to the zip code level along with reported expenses for owners for a zip code to assist in evaluating out of your area markets, but of course this takes time to put together in this way for all MSAs even if you already know a few you wouldn't go into due to expense).

I want to build a comfort and trust level that will serve us both and have us work as a team to find and close on the best deals.

Here's the rate sheet associated with a lender that can reliably deliver on the time-frame specified in the contract, here are fannie mae's loan level pricing adjustments, here's your fico score,  here's your down payment, here's how you price out your own mortgage, so boom here's your rate at no points with a slight lender credit, and we're done.

Judging by the responses, there seems to be an enormous level of support and camaraderie here!

I am in both of those camps.You touched on two things that I think would be a great angle and worth digging deeper into on a podcast.  

I would consider hiring someone if I found someone that has set this up for rental property managers and come with some level of appropriate accounting qualifications....Thanks

No one can tell you a level of production that is average.  

@Bob Bowling See my edited post.Yes in theory I should agree with you that the required rate of return is proportional to the level of risk.
