If your broker does not have access to lenders that are fine with SCorp, reach out to me, i have a few that have no issues with this.

I'm a mortgage broker, so need a wholesale lender. 

Our experience is that many lenders/servicer customer representatives may not know the protections that exist for those that want to put asset protection steps in place. 

I’d simply ask in what situations where the broker and the brokers firm did nothing to facilitate the sale do you think you should get paid a commission?

If you're anything like me, customer service is the main draw for me when I am choosing any service provider.Look at websites, reviews and testimonials.

How I have seen an hourly rate structure for a buyers agent work is like this: a non-refundable retainer is first paid to the broker. 

I currently broker LIHTC multi-family for a large firm coast to coast and am also interested in MF in the Arizona submarkets as well, and will eventually invest on that scale - I just figure breaking into the state through SFH flips may be a more risk adverse way to understand the pros and cons to phoenix submarkets.

Custom building a home is a slow and painful process.  

The better theming will attract a higher quality customer that understands the value.

Sellers and Brokers need to know you can close.
