There is so much free info on the web, especially here at BP (more legit than some), so I would start there and then go from there.Good luck!

It looks like you have a couple of years to learn as much as possible from the best RE resource on the web.

Lot's of fraud out there from false people.A true lender or mortgage broker in the commercial space will ask for liquidity, net worth, equity positions, global cash flow before even saying they can possibly get a commitment lender letter and only after seeing requested docs on a property.Watch out for wolfs in sheep's clothing who promise to do the world but you just have to give them that upfront money.

HomePath Mortgage allows a buyer to purchase a Fannie Mae-owned property with a 5% down payment (as of November 16, 2013), no lender-requested appraisal and no mortgage insurance.

People will always, and I mean always gravitate to the best presentation.Don't create a new career (you are an investor), but follow your instincts about this and put a reasonable amount of time into building a web presence.

Jeff, I sent you a colleague request.

They have sent letters to tenants requesting them not to sign new lease until they meet and know what they will pay towards their rent.Was wondering if anyone with Sec. 8 tenants are seeing a cut upon renewal.

You can ask your bank as they may have affiliate banks they work with, some banking corporations are in other states.But, you loan will be from a lender nearest the property financed.It's probably a good thing to have your bank, if you have a good relationship, to contact any bank you select there an offer to send verifications, ahead of requests making contact so the lending bank has a point of contact for inquiries.

Feel free to send me a colleague request so we can have each other's contact information.

Many associations are professionally managed and have documents, meeting minutes, etc. on their web site.
