I'm under the belief that as long as you don't remove or tamper with it, you should be fine.

Performance based structures are typically reflected in the waterfall and promote investor confidence, but a reasonable management fee can be an overall good thing for a project.

I was under the belief that many/most wholesale purchases deals were as-is.  

Wisconsin area stating that last year they started a rent promotion program where if tenants have a certain amount of volunteer hours logged with a list of pre-approved organizations in the city where the rental units are, that they got a 10% reduction in rent. 

@Brian Adzadi exactly explained what I thought, too.This forum gets at least twenty new investors per month posting about "jumping into" their first flip with no real estate experience, absolutely no background in residential construction, but the sure and certain belief that neither are needed to pull off residential flips successfully.

More options promotes competition and is great for consumers, but it's also more to sort through.Prior to setting anything up, be sure to acquaint yourself with the prohibited transaction rules.

And the contacts I would make during these seminars would be absolutely invaluable.As for which seminar program to attend, there's only one hard-hitting, serious choice for committed professionals, but I can't say what it is here, or I might be accused to promoting a specific product or brand of seminars.
