(That was why I originally obtained my license) most brokers are not turning away business.

After slowly growing my portfolio to what I thought was a critical mass, I felt I would benefit from obtaining a RE license.

A Realtor/Escrow Agent/State RE School instructor, that guy has an incredible ego.They also left out the appraisal requirements at the seller's expense as Curt mentioned..I suppose every time some RE type mentions this stuff people need to look at their expertise in finance compliance and law, then look to the agenda of that party giving that source of information.Why don't people find out that auto sales and financing is much easier than RE or brokering T-shirts from China to stores can be very profitable with very little cash?

@Mike T.

As everyone has informed you, you can almost obtain one for nothing.

What is the purpose (use) of the funds she is trying to obtain with the mortgage?

Therefore, in order to obtain ownership of the property a deed would have to be signed by the current owner of record transferring that ownership to the buyer.

(D)That the Tenant/Buyer is hereby notified to obtain renter's insurance to cover loss on his/her personal belongings located in the "premises" or on the grounds where"premises" is situated.6)COVENANTS OF LANDLORD/SELLER: The landlord/seller hereby covenants and agrees as follows:(A)That the Tenant/Buyer shall peaceably and quietly hold, occupy, use and enjoy the property, without any let, hindrance or molestation by Landlord/Seller or any person associated therewith.7)BREACH BY TENANT/BUYER: If the buyer shall fail to keep and perform any of the covenants, agreements, or provisions of this Lease/Option, or if the Tenant/Buyer shall ever abandon or vacate the property, it shall be lawful for the Landlord/Seller to enter into saidproperty and again have, repossess, and enjoy the same as if the Lease/Option had not been made, and thereupon this Lease/Option and everything herein contained on the part of the Landlord/Seller, to be done and performed shall cease, determine and be utterly void, except as set forth in paragraph (8), below.

I always prefer to do all documents in person, and make the time to obtain the signatures in person.

My longest vacancy to date has only been 1 month and both times that occurred was right after a remodel (no showings until it was 100% ready to go) and during the winter.As I obtain more properties, it's harder (and admittedly less of a priority) to maintain 100% occupancy.
