I'm still shaking my head over the amount of money that people pay for these programs.

You have to shake hands with and talk to people to get anywhere in this business. 

Negotiating to me is not as simple as agreeing on a number and shaking hands, especially as you deal with larger & more complex transactions involving multiple parties.

Even though I am in and out of the deal I am concerned that the end buyer ( usually CA or off shore) gets a fair shake.

I think that's how this shakes out.

You should already know the answer.Confirm the amount you’ll loan and shake your borrower’s hand at the site. 8) Call your broker and put him in touch with your borrower.

@Michael SwanI heard about that No-Prime loan just over the weekend.It will be interesting to see how it shakes out.

There's more ways to collect rent then you can shake a stick at.
