I've always pondered the idea of being an individual, unaffiliated broker -- keeping the entirety of commissions earned on deals is certainly an enticing prospect. My question is: which, if any, lenders would be willing to work with an independent broker? Establishing reputability/viability seems to be the biggest hurdle in terms of going solo. Any advice regarding how to go about this would be greatly appreciated.

The definition of ISO is an "Independent" sales organization, whether it's a one man shop in their parent's basement or a 150 man shop.

Are you asking if funders sign up ISO's that are start-up's with no TIB?
