I currently live in Hendersonville, NC and will be affiliating with a Real Estate firm here locally soon.

There are even affiliate arrangements for making referrals to some lenders.

I am using and am  now actually affiliated with a Company Called PayClix  For online rent payments fir your renters or lot rents .You can check them out on line .They have an Exclusive Accept or Reject Technology So you are in total control of the Payments You can Reject a Partial Payment so you are not stuck for 30 days or have to deal with 3 day notices or start Evictions .They can Do Pet Fees ,Security Deposits ,Pay any Service technicians ,Golf memberships ETC.They connect to your Existing Accounting system for a seamless integration.And are in the Process of building a Module Specifically for Mobile Home Parks .I have Managed Mobile Home Parks for years and Am still woking with a Gentleman who buys and sells them  .

Your experience is only going to be as good as the performance and ability of the person you talk to on the phone.A lot of title companies will have a QI firm associated with them either legally or someone like us where we are not affiliated with them but they refer their business to us. 

I'd suggest you start by interviewing NARPM affiliates in your market. 

@Steve Rozenberg - Hi Steve, I have been aware of the NARPM designation but haven't seen any real value in mailing $295/yr to use a the affiliation.

I’ve looked into MLM, and affiliate marketing as other sources of income but I’m really interested in Real Estate seeing as my small experience with the stock market was a bit confusing to say the least.

If you want to try it out I can send you my affiliate link for 7 days free if you’d like

@Robert Tinker, The best tool that I've found out there for doing estimates as a rehabber (I'm not just a lender, my business partner and I are investors as well) is Rehab Estimator Pro (https://www.rehabestimatorpro.com/ - This is not an affiliate link - I don;t get anything for referring you).

Abel We are interviewing people who are affiliates to real estate investors (brokers, title companies, real estate attorneys, mortgage brokers) as well as real estate investors in all facets of real estate.
