Acquisition Fee or Assignment Fee?

[Bradford Hancock]

I found a good deal, but it’s not right for me right now. I have investors that are interested in the deal I’ve found. How can I profit off of giving them the information for the deal? Are there contracts involved?

Hi Brad,

Thanks for posting! Congratulations on finding a good deal. There is an agreement involved with acquisition fees, and we should first get an idea of what "information" you're providing and how. 

Depending on the details regarding the deal and your involvement. For example, if you are sourcing, underwriting, performing due diligence, and partaking/advising in the negotiations, you may be able to arrange an acquisition fee (.5% to 2% of the purchase price). If you are in fact only verbally telling them about the deal, consider it a kind gesture to your investor (no fee).

I wish you the best!
