Hi @Michael Alston ,As Jordan mentioned above, having your team on the ground is crucial when your overseas.

I organize a meetup every month in the East Bay.

Please email me or PM me your email, so I can notify you about the next meetup. [email protected]'m also organizing a big RE investor summit towards the end of this year in the Bay.

This is a very small organization and things seem to be running smoothly.

We did so because I believed he could be a valuable asset to our organization, and he has already proved his value in a number of ways.

I've passed on a few names, but I didn't get involved so I have no idea what happened if anything.I realize`a "real" RELO thing would or could be a big deal, hard to organize, but seems too that more referrals could be made.Good thing about referrals is the third party influence, so long as the referring party has a good relationship with the one referred.Anyone referred customers to others out of your area?

I gave my resume and was quickly approved because I had been a bank examiner for FDIC that exceeded their expectations for management and I was in the business.MBs gain affiliate lending relationships under contract with as many mortgage bankers or institutions as possible or as the market requires to offer a product line.In reality, experience matters getting affiliate relationships, a bad egg can present huge liability issues for a lender, you'll find too that many banks won't allow third party originations outside their organization.

If you think it's solid enough for a loaded truck to park on then all you'll need to do is scrap off the organics (built up dirt and grass) and spread and roll your new material so long there is base material left.

When we were organizing our company, lo those many years ago, we spent time thinking about this and specifically decided we wanted to cater to working families. 

I believe that is a crucial skill to master.
