3. speak to multiple real estate broker and property managers (if you are intending to use them). 

They also use my brokers' license allowing us access to the MLS for retail selling of property and comparable information.

So, recently I was prequalified for (x) amount of dollars through a mortgage broker - it is solely based off of my debt-to-income, but I am using "gifted funds" from my fiancee for part of my downpayment/closing costs.

As such, I'm contacting mortgage brokers and filling out loan applications to get pre-approval letters. 

Once I know how everything works find a broker and go from there and eventually start investing in RE and buying businesses.I told my parents yesterday and lets just say it did not go my way.

I am a Spokane Washington Real Estate brokers whom work with out of state buyers.

I strongly suggest you ask either a licensed local hard money lender or licensed CA real estate broker to legally originate your loan for you.

I’m a real estate broker in the Raleigh/Durham area.

I discussed with my broker and he confirmed that the document is subject to changes before close.

Definitely has the best mix of CRE professionals: attorneys, developers, architects, brokers, bankers etc.
