Offer them a bird dog fee for finding the deals.5.

I paid him the normal closing cost, a few $ grand in fees, and a slightly higher interest rate than I might could have gotten conventionally. 

@Iris Olivas Most local banks/credit unions can do this deal with lower fees and potentially rates than brokers.

.: For me it was at total for $13,000 for first year set up with filing fees, registered agent etc.

Rates are generally better on a conventional loan when accounting for all fees and prepayment penalties.

That is part of the problem with a lot of companies (I am not knocking insula as dont have all the info/facts just stating how the business works), they engage brokers to get them loans and the brokers collect a small fee. unfortunately many of the brokers may be similar to real estate wholesalers - have little to no experience. 

I don't receive a referral fee I'm just happy to share as it took me going through several CPAs to find the right one.

The referral fees, which operate similar to a multi-level marketing models, often incent these students to post the rare assignment fee check that does get done to every social platform they can and make it seem like they have an "in' with the guru leading the program. 

Wholesalers (no offense to those in the comments) who are doing this without being a foreign entity are probably co-wholesaling which is on the borderline and practically acting as an agent without a license or getting referral fees by having actual wholesalers on the ground doing deals and they just provide the leads which is different than wholesaling.

I am looking into a company right now that does rent guarantee insurance and also does in lieu of deposit will issue a bond that the tenant basically gets charged a monthly fee for.
