And thus, intelligent persons knowing this, they have no interest dealing with a low quality, poor performance, "wholesaler".

Personally I think both are important.

Hey @Kyle McVay Do you own the property in your personal name or under an LLC?

On the more "inexperienced" side, I have a friend that partnered with a syndicator, and that syndicator outlined the following, typical, structure:Deal Sourcing: 20%Underwriting: 20%Asset Management: 20%Capital Raise: 40%Others will partner where splits of various fees/carried interest vary based on each partners roll: i.e. if one person sources the deal, underwrites and asset manages, they get say 70% of AMF, Dispo Fee and Carried interest and 40% of acquisition fee, while the capital raiser keeps 30% of those fees and gets 60% of the acquisition fee. 

My office manager tracks them on a spread sheet but personally I don't think that is necessary if you have good key box inventory.

Real Estate Agent uses commission earned on the subject property toward their own down payment when they are also the buyer of that same property (personal residence).

It's led to incredibly high occupancy rate in the off-season, but I'd rather have a slightly lower occupancy rate in order to reduce wear and tear and leave some weekends open for personal use.I'm at a loss on what to do about this.

But the other options are Hard Money Lender, second on a house, personal line of credit, private money from an investor, or PM from a family/friend.

While I am a lender, I personally use hard money on all of my own investment projects.

I personally am not trying to build a portfolio of 100 doors, I am trying to build a portfolio big enough to support our ideal lifestyle. - We start with the property vs. the numbers.
