Just wondering if there's a quick and reliable online vendor, or should I just take my RE broker's advice (I trust her) and use her "guy" (she's never done home equity through him, to me it just sounds like another person who needs to take a cut)? 

I'm a real estate broker and new property manager. 

@Daniel Wolcott I've been systematically contacted key folks in the market... brokers, lenders, property managers, appraisers etc.

At a minimum, they'll want a Broker Price Opinion (BPO) or a full appraisal to understand the value of the house.

I am looking for a real estate broker who works in Kansas City.

I'm a licensed agent, and my daughter is a broker.

I used a business broker and it was suggested to me that I also go through Chase to do my banking, as they are familiar with the business and try getting a SBA loan.

Once I have experience with the small multi family, I'd like to raise capital for the next one (about to start reading Raising Private Capital), using my first deal as a way to show experience.My question through my introduction is, who are some of the best commercial brokers in the area that I could connect with to find properties within this criteria?

So at this point the bank would have to take a 60k hit and sell at auction for 200k or sell it later through a broker and hope for a higher number to recoup the 60k + 200k?

Who are you using to seek advice in the purchase of the property, i.e. broker, lawyer, or going solo?
