Hey guys, quick question. I am on a buyers list for a wholesaler who regularly sends me deals through email, and I have never bought from him before. He sent me a higher cost deal, 550k but the ARV is around 1 mil., this is above my head currently but I did have a friend who was looking for a property similar to this one so I passed it along. She is very interested in it, and might close on it and wanted to give me a finders fee, which I wasn't really looking for, but will gladly take. Next, the wholesaler asked me what type of referral fee I want from him, for bringing them together. My question is I am not sure if I should take a fee from one or both, or what is customary in this situation as I really don't have any equitable interest, and just brought them together as a way of helping out. If I do decide to take the fee(s), I am not sure how much would be appropriate to ask for (from the wholesaler only, not going to ask for anything from my friend, whatever they give is fine if anything)? Any help is appreciated, thanks!

That's great, thanks for passing this info along, I appreciate it!

Hey guys, I was just wondering if anybody knows of an attorney that handles subject to closings and contract review?  Due to the many regulations I want to close these strictly with an attorney.  Any help would be appreciated, thank you!  Mostly in Tacoma, University Place, Fircrest, etc.

Hey Jason!  Glad you made it on to BP!  A great feature I haven't seen anyone talk about is the fileplace feature, I know Brandon mentioned the Ultimate Beginner's Guide but there is also other great info located there that you can download to increase your learning.  Wish you the best of luck in all you do!

Welcome!  What has worked well for me is just scheduling time to get tasks done, and knowing what I want to accomplish, that way you can make the most of your time!  BP is great, be sure to check out the podcasts!

I was just curious if anyone from Seattle/Tacoma knows where or how you can find the lists of legatees/beneficiaries of wills while going through or after the probate process?  Normally a lot of the information we need is online through county websites, etc. but I have not been able to find out how to locate this information?  Any help would be awesome!  Thanks!
