I paid for a lifetime membership and then still got charged. 

I charge a completive market rate while providing a really good service. 

Heck, there are even lenders that will NO DSCR, meaning they dont care what the income of the property is and they'll still fund the loan (at a lower LTV and higher interest rate of course). 

My clients can "force appreciate" the value of the property by doing a quality rehab for a lower than market cost because they are very good at spotting "diamonds in the rough".

They'll have the same issue with the next buyer and you can always come back in a few months and make them a much lower offer once the property has fallen out of contract a few times and they are extra motivated to sell.   

While I could have gone lower I am lowering my risk tolerance because I expect a recession in late 2019 to 2020.

If you don't specify a charge in your listing, you can't collect it. 

The advantage, is that the buyer can wind up with a lower interest rate and instead of a 30 year loan, they have only the remaining number of years the original borrower hasn't yet paid down.3.

I am working with a RE-focused CPA this year who charges a flat fee of $2,500 and is very responsive so far. 

They are often located in lower-income neighborhoods and may need maintenance or renovations.
