Yet in a city with a metropolitan area population of over 5.5 million, there's an occasional client that fits well into this type of profile.

Do you have any clients in Austin texas?

I deal with clients all over the world and yes I do have dealings in the USA :D Yes a broker in UK would be an estate agent and I work with both sellers and investors.

They and their clients do not post to BP or the Ineternet.Most deals that require acreditied investors can not be posted publically.

There is a program that is being presented to mortgage professionals and real estate agents.

Otherwise, don't get people down without providing info on how to get back up.In fact, I tell my clients that if the choice is between paying off debt or keeping cash but a higher mortgage balance...KEEP THE CASH and make just the payment you HAVE to, because cash is king.

I tell my clients that the benefits of holding in an LLC often outweigh the negatives but realize that financing will be a bit harder until you get your "groove" going, so to speak.

Remember, they are dealing with very frustrated, desperate and irate clients who are in the process of losing their home.

I like the idea of using a property manager if even for the first year only, to let them deal with client screening.

Gathering a lot of information from a variety of sources to get different perspectives can help give you a much broader foundation to start your new career.
