Those who can't, guru.The true players in any field are not down at the Marriott doing seminars.

You could satisfy a pretty wide niche (legally helping private lenders avoid usury) that I personally know is in high demand.This could be a an opportunity to stand in the traffic of deal flow, make a few bucks along the way, and gain access to players with cash as well as those with deals.

I have done a few deals with Nathan over the years.. he was truthful in his transactions so I am happy for him that he has grown in his company like this.turn key reviews has also outed a bunch of these guys that were bad players @Kim Tucker  and KC had a bunch of them.. just like all these markets.. most of the not ready for prime time guys went the way of the dodo bird during the crash and could not restart.. and or too many complaints or ended up in Orange is the new black like a Marquis et al. 

This is starting to show weaknesses in their capabilities and proving to be a hassle with the growing complexity of managing this property mix; Avail being configured for residential and weak at handling rent escalations and charge-backs, and Stessa having unreliable bank connections. 

Lot size/shape (frontage is important) and you have a lot more players you need to work with.

@Maurice George This is sales 101, if her "gut" tells her I'm a player in the wholelsale world, she should move on.

I have a construction/industry background and am capable of spotting issues on a home without the utilities on.

-Access to many different types of capital, SBA, Build Out, All Asset Classes, -Responsiveness-Maybe you Loan Broker puts investment deals in front of you with developers-Maybe he is 6'1" bald 245lbs ex college football player, retired army and lives in Sugar Land.   

They should know that their "loan originators" have low morals.Since it seems to me that you don't have the capabilities of answering my question, it would best be advised if you just don't respond at all.

I am tempted to send letters to the homeowners telling them that their agent is trash and isn't working for them like they think he/she is.But with any industry or job, you're going to have a pyramid of players where the majority are average or below average, and the small minority are very good at what they do.
