Quote from @Bryan Stengel: Hi Abraham, I have definitely had some success. 

And we are happier and more successful for it.

You can try to make it part of the inspection amendment, that's the last time you have some negotiation power.

If there is no agreement signed and this person is just someone listed from the broker's database, I do not believe it is acceptable for the broker to collect a split in addition to the house split.If you are to consider negotiating this additional split, there is a lot to take into account here... what is the % of business that you generate on your own vs. how much your broker contributes?

Do you find that lower down makes it harder for a successful BRRR? 

How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

We also had to negotiate access agreements with both adjoining neighbors, which added nearly another $100k.Best of luck in your venture, feel free to contact me directly with any questions or if you would like me to pass along any of my resources.  

They did successfully place and a tenant who even pays early, which is a very nice change.

They’ll help you identify properties with strong rental potential, offer access to a network of contractors and inspectors, and negotiate a deal that works for your goals.

In the end, I got to successfully set up an account and fund my investment, which is much further than I would have gotten with any of the other banks/credit unions I tried.
