Dave, buddy up to the best RE agent in your town and a well respected appraiser too.

Now, I do respectfully disagree with Peter.

If you are one of the few that act above board and can see passed your little payday, I respect what you do and already know who most of you are.  

Be persistent, but respectful.

For example, in the 90%-95% LTV portion of the chart I am looking at, there are 3 tiers: 30%, 25%, and 16% with the rates at .3%, .28%, and .22% respectively.

Both are very respected Brokers in my office and whenever they talk, I'm always glued to every word. 

Coaches like Brian are the exception to the norm, which is why he's someone I respect and look up to in the coaching business.The 500 calls comment is for those who are starting out... not those who are seasoned investors like me.

You may need to pay them for this since you aren't the property owner and out of respect of their time I would pay them. 

They run the Kirkland, Seattle, and Tacoma meet-ups respectively, and given the once-per-month meetings you will definitely meet someone who can answer questions you have.

It is totally fair for everyone to have their own agendas, the key is finding people who can create a symbiotic relationship, advancing both parties closer to their respective goals in the process.
