One Week in to the Rest of my Life...

One week ago I made the decision to leave my W2 job and pursue a position as an independent contractor, full-time investment mortgage broker. It wasn't an easy decision to make, but at this point in my career I have the risk tolerance to be able to make this kind of a decision, and I thank all of you on BP for being an inspiration in my career thus far. I owe specific thanks to @Scott Trench for his book, Set For Life, which played a big part in my decision making process, as well as @Brandon Turner and @Joshua Dorkin.

I've spent the last 3 years behind a desk as an MLO for one the country's biggest hard money lender, working specifically with brokers across the country to facilitate loans on behalf of their clients, and the learnings from that position and the time I've spent on BP, reading the BP publications and forums has given me the confidence to undertake this life changing pursuit.

If you or someone you know/partner with is looking for financing on any upcoming real estate investment, let me know - I strive to be of value and have an extensive lender network to ensure quick terms and reliable financing. Thank you all for being a continued inspiration!
