I usually will enter a new market with the best of what I have, but inevitably there are tweaks to be made to observe local customs and manerisms.

Walking in and not knowing individual officers, you can safely assume the oldest guy/gal in there has more experience and probably a higher lending authority.New customers are also reviewed, a loan officer may have a loan authority of say 250K but being a new customer they may be required to have the loan reviewed by senior officers.The issue too is that when you start out and you're assigned a loan officer, you'll be stuck with that loan officer, you go into their portfolio much like customers go to the credits of salesmen at a car dealership.

Hello-For the last several years I have been building mostly Mediterranean style custom homes in Dallas, Texas with my partner at Veranda Fine Homes.

I have done all of the ask a real estate agent find a mentor all of that but am still lacking the key ingredient for investing.

Have you asked them to show you the rope, or shall I say the secret ingredients to be successful in investing in real estate?

I know if I had a unit that would rent for 600 I probably wouldn't use copper cladding on it or custom cut slate. :)

To us the tenant is the resident, customer, or tenant.

On some of our nicer rehabs we will use nicer finishes, and we do a couple high end homes which are more custom but even those are becoming more streamlined.Being in a situation where you understand rental properties is a great place to be in.

Where can you order the custom made window murals (removable) and car magnets?

I do customer support for a major aviation co. so I'm always curious what people are flying.
