how can I broker mortgages

[gordongecko]

I read somewhere that anyone can "wholesale" mortgages from big lenders (along with student loans, and pretty much anything). I am looking at acquiring a commercial building with a couple vacant offices that may be perfect for something like this, so figured why not see if I can't do it myself (since I am pretty solid at local marketing). Is it pretty regulated (as in not worth the hassle of setting up shop because of so many regulations to follow), and where do I get started? Any websites, books, or companies would be appreciated.
