I continue to pad my social security contributions full-time with the hopes of maximizing my retirement benefits.

I don’t think they’d be willing to “share” their wholesalers fee with someone whose contribution is to forward the property information to 10 Realtors.

The $69k max only relates to contributions.

For clarity, as i understand the concept of reinvesting in the business, each "Bucket" should eventually fund itself without the need for cash injections or contributions.

If banks controlled all this business and did away with the broker model and like what I experienced the lender was a bank employee and was on salary not commish.. docs are prepped by the bank ( on my commercial loans that is free no charge NO JUNK Fees at all just appraisal and 1/2 a point to maybe 1 point. this is a stumbling block for owner occ especially first time buyers who dont have money for closing costs and generally need the seller to contribute you know I see it all the time on my starter homes that I finance for flippers.. virtually everyone has seller assist on it to pay for all the junk fee's and brokers fees.. its getting paid somewhere and that just makes it harder for those buying homes to live in ..  

By leveraging our financial resources alongside Ron's contributions, we were able to secure the property quickly and allocate funds efficiently for the $25,000 renovation.

Negotiated $198,000 in seller financing through a Promissory Note, pulled a $99,000 commercial loan with a 5 year balloon, and contributed $33,000 as a down payment.

I saw it as a very valuable 3-day course that was well worth the $1000 I paid for.This was just my attempt at contributing back to the forum that benefited me earlier, take it with a grain of salt.
