For agents that only do 1-2 transactions per year, it will take a long time to complete.In order to get the designation, an applicant must meet the following portfolio experience:-Three (3) or more qualifying activities totaling $30 million or more; or-Exactly ten (10) qualifying activities totaling $10 million or more; or-Twenty (20) qualifying activities with no dollar volume requirement.In general, designations don't increase business, they increase the level of competency.

Welcome on board! 

I would suggest connecting with a mortgage broker to see how much you could qualify for with a 203k loan.

That person could also setup the system/process and train someone at a lower level to manage the day-to-day.I know I didn't give you an answer on pay rates, but I have seen it time and time again; clients hiring under-qualified talent and paying the price in the long run.

You'll need a qualified intermediary and need to follow all the rules for identifying property.

You’ll have to either sell it or refi your loan, which you you will need to qualify again. 

Beyond that the equity I unknowingly made in 2009 buying the house saved my *** in divorce and now my wife and I will have 720+ credit scores and low enough payments to potentially qualify for conventional investment financing. 

My experience has been, these "First Time" or "Income Restricted" Loan offerings by various State and Local Agencies are all done through a Typical Lending Company (Mortgage Banker / Mortgage Lender) that has qualified with the Agency(s) offering the program.For Example, if you met the criteria for a "Texas Vet Loan", and were qualified for the program, all the processing and workup of the Loan package will be completed by Blank (Generic) Mortgage Company.

But that might be part of the issue.If there aren't technical reasons to keep the wood shake roofs, you might have to work with the other owners to vote out the current board and replace them with people willing to change the rules.

He was not happy and reported me to the board.
