Brokers sit closer to an investor’s finances than almost anyone, which puts them in a strong position to catch the mistakes that quietly undo a portfolio. Most are not exotic. Borrowing to the absolute limit with no buffer, structuring loans without thinking past the first purchase, chasing a headline yield without testing real cash flow, and buying without a strategy that ties the whole plan together.
Each of these is avoidable with a conversation early enough to matter.

It is also where a broker and an accredited advisor working in step add real value.
