I'm looking to line my pockets, not those of a banker, commercial or otherwise.

Just start making calls to the commercial or business bankers (not retail loan officers).

There is Remax, Keller Williams, Exit Reality, Coldwell Banker, Do you recommend going with a big name brokerage or using a smaller brokerage, who seem to have lower fees.

My banker makes a lot of money when I buy an apartment building.

Do you have an attorney, a banker, an accountant and a realtor who understands investors?

But, this particular banker only asked for the basics (but very thorough) and she was very interested about my history and plans for the future.If anyone has any "red flags" or "best bets" that I should be aware of I'm all ears.Thanks in advance and hopefully this little post is formatted in an understandable manner-MF

MY brief resume is as follows since college 1985: new home sales, licensed realtor then broker, new home sales manager and regional manager, company VP sales & marketing for home builder, owner of 3 LLC companies (home building, land developer, real estate brokerage), residential design, estimating, purchasing, construction of small commercial buildings, meetings with city officials bankers and engineers, mortgage banker, consultant to individuals starting own home building and real estate companies, investor in purchasing and rehabbing residential homes, property manager, project manager of rehabbing investors homes, wholesaling, land trust deals, HUD/VA reo properties, BPO's.

I have a few duplexes, and each time I have put together a binder with section dividers and everything organized with a table of contents for my banker.

I just had this exact conversation with my banker a few hours ago..

Also, who was your mortgage banker?
