In real life most of the celebs are not living that way.I get more jollies these days giving a big tip to a waiter or waitress or the car wash person as I know it makes their week.

I am not a lazy person as I am pursing real estate investment part time, while working full time.I believe it is that human instinct when someone asks for your confidential information, you tend to ask a lot of questions prior to give it.

Why are you begrudging the person a profit?

My point of view is that you're calling this person a partner (your words, not mine).

Being required to see the units in-person as a stipulation to closing the deal?

Any deals you can't make - refer them to the auction company and make a fee.Always look for PROFIT CENTER opportunities - referrals fees from investors or others - always be alert to profit opportunities.IDEA for cash flow ----- Work a PIGGY BACK PROGRAM ---- get on all mailing list of auction companies in your area - where there are auctions that are being held in front of the property -- Contact owners of properties in the neighborhood where there is going to be an auction - Script: letter or in person - "As a public and private service - I wanted to let you know there is going to be a real estate auction at 123 Main Street at 2 pm - you may want to attend - if you would like to sell your property at 2:15 pm I can make that arrangements for you - oh - there are no commissions or settlement cost and no advertising fee."

To get the deal, the bank wanted it off the books so I had to turn the title around during X-Mas week which was a feat in itself but we got it done.

You are a smart person, a savvy investor, and have no knowledge of this individuals true motives.  

If there is a due on sale clause, it is the same effect as any violation of the mortgage or deed of trust, the remedies are spelled out in the document itself and usually include foreclosure.I believe what you are thinking of is a “fraudulent transfer”, which may be applicable when a property owner files bankruptcy and prior has transferred the deed to a trust that has another person as trustee, but which he is beneficiary and does not report such in his list of assets.
