Although it's rarely enforced, the state does in fact look upon wholesaling as brokering without a license.

We send our customers in need of contract review to Gennady (Tom) Shnaider.

My suggestion to fellow real estate investors is always to use an Independent Agent (a Broker) because they will have the most access to specialty markets such as owner-occupied duplexes. 

I am just starting my real estate career with a wholesale broker! 

Call around until you find the terms and type of person you want, you are the customer.Don't forget about insurance brokers or lawyers if you plan to create an entity. 

Yet, I feel like once someone was in the unit they would realize its not that bad of a neighborhood, and I'm a reasonable guy who cares about reasonable customer service (with boundaries of course). 

He is an investor/broker in Orlando that has a property management division with his partner. 

I'm pretty sure that if you phrase it right you can meet current employees or brokers for an informational interview and/or a coffee. 

Free glasses of water and bathroom use, at most restaurants, is a courtesy provided to current or (recognized) past customers, but not necessarily everyone asserting that they maybe will be a customer someday in the future.

If you don't mind me asking how do I go about finding a loan broker who is investor friendly?
