The way we look at it however is this sort of situation would be OK - but its a one time referral fee - any sort of arrangement with a long-term referral fee / borrower protection is reserved for true professional mortgage brokers - who like @Chris Seveney mentioned, would be doing more legwork on the deal vs. a simple and clean referral handoffvia CFPB on referral fees for business-purpose hard money loans:§ 1024.5 Coverage of RESPA.THIS VERSION IS THE CURRENT REGULATIONView all versions of this regulationSearch this regulationRegulation X(a) Applicability.

I've been sorting out 24-1098 with existing leases at my job, where it's created some difficult knots to untangle with the timing of affordable housing tenant recertifications and the offer/notice timelines.But that aside, the law just imposes more formality on lease enforcement, whether or not it comes to a forcible eviction.

Good quality detergents are almost specifically designed for those sorts of stains.

To avoid going through the same poor experience, keep reading.Even if someone gives you a referral here, do NOT make the mistake of assuming that the PMC will meet your expectations, just because they met the expectations of the referral source.In our experience, the #1 mistake owners make when selecting a Property Management Company (PMC) is ASSUMING instead of CONFIRMING.It's often a case of not doing enough research, as they don't know what they don't know!
