They can really make your financing side of things go very smoothly and give you a piece of mind that you're getting the best available.Brokers don't offer this service for free, they get a % of the loan amount - typically 1-2 pts for perm financing and anywhere from 2-3 [sometimes 4 for time-pressured deals or very low-priced LTV's] for HML, Bridge, or Ground up Construction.Hope this helps!

If the rusty spot is relatively close to a box, this isn't too bad, but if there's one rusty spot in the middle of a run, it can be a pain in the butt.For the Cat6 outlets, you'll probably have to use electrical boxes that mount on the surface of the walls.
