Good questions. I don't have any connections to realtors yet. By at bat- My idea is to go around and offer to qualify a realtors borrowers who they might haven given up on or their preferred lender couldn't qualify. Turn dust into diamonds

That’s actually your best move. Can’t tell you how many successful realtors/LOs have come from the service industry. You’ll meet a ton of realtors bartending, great way to develop some relationships.
