A finder's fee definitely seems like its more appropriate than partnering up unless you have known this person a long time and they just want to help you out for some reason.

Maybe do a 401k>Roth conversion, non-disqualified person as a partner, etc.  

It’s also illegal to pay an unlicensed person a commission contingent upon a sale. 

@Matt M. As

I personally would rather have 1 person as the tenant contact person.

I want to give this person a chance.The cons I see are: this individual has no savings, the individual's mother has an open court case that is being settled (she is not at fault) due to a car accident and ongoing medicals bills, they have one past eviction due to the accident preventing them from working for three months(they were asked to leave).

Marcus only allows to wire money to an external account if that account is owned by the same person as the Marcus account. 

To mitigate this risk, we may offer that person a loan with a higher interest rate and/or require a larger down payment, than someone who is a lower risk.

That said, it is very possible to wholesale or flip these higher end properties, I do it all day long as my area here in So Cal has High price points.In an attempt to get something from this lead, may I recommend you get in touch with one of your agents on your team that deals with investors and properties in need of repairs, hook that agent up with the seller and ask the agent to give you a discount on your next listing with them (they can’t pay an unlicensed person a referral fee).

I owned it and basically said to myself, if I buy it, I’ll throw this person a bone that I made drive 30 minutes to show me a house.
