If only there was some profession that could collect your info once, pitch the scenario to several dozen lenders all at once for their rates, fees, turntimes, service levels, etc, and if only people in that profession got preferred wholesale pricing that beats what retail consumers calling directly get from those exact same banks. 

•Foreclosure in Florida can be expensive and time-consuming for the lender.

Technology has made it so much easier to consume information.

Other than that I have no other real estate experience but I am looking to change that.MY INITIAL GOALS IN REAL ESTATE: I would like to be able to have a steady truly passive income ($250K/year plus) within 5 years that require not that much work on a day to day basis.....meaning that my life is not consumed by it.

I did once and while it was a challenge to turn a lemon into a beauty worthy of a family, it's time consuming and a money drain. 

For example, the lead registration process available at MDE Renewal is very non-intuitive and time consuming.   

How much do you consume?

With a full time day job, a family, and trying to scale my investing business, self managing can be a time consuming headache that I would love to out source.

My consumer/residential insurance agents really didn't understand or flat out didn't do it.For estimating rents, I use rentometer.com and hear it recommended frequently.

They weren't different, the process and consumer experience was basically the same:- Crap process.- Slow turntimes. - Crap rates.- High points.- Opaque guidelines and underwriting criteria.Every non-qm lender had some combination of 3 or 4 out of that 5, and they would basically never tell you upfront where they are strong and where they are weak, everyone promises the world and under-delivers.
