Advice for Bird Dogging - Finders Fee

[Ryan Tierney]

Funny situation I am in but I'm running with it. A relative in my family is selling a property in Massachusetts and it has a shared driveway with another lot/house. Both my relative and the other property owner want to sell and I have recently connected with an agent who has a lot of Buyers/developers interested in the property. This will be an off market deal and I don't have a prior relationship with this agent, but he seems to be a straight shooter. 

I am curious as to the best way to navigate this deal while solidifying a finders fee for bringing a 2.4 mil deal together and bringing it to this agent who will be representing both Buyer and Seller.

I am not an agent, just a MF investor who is just starting out. I would love to explore the wholesaling side of REI but am focusing on MF buy and holds at the moment.

It is a great opportunity in my mind to learn a bit about the ins and outs of wholesaling but want to get everyones opinion. 

Kind Regards,
