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.

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.

Selling the PropertyIf your parents decide to sell, they could: Sell As-Is: At a current appraisal of $350k, they could walk away with a sizable profit (after transaction costs like realtor fees, taxes, etc.).

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. 

Fees seem high but could potentially be worth it.

It allows them to keep those afloat and can collect fees on that side by retaining ownership of the deal. 

Because it still happens here in MA, that is why my first post stated it just in case someone in Mass didn't know it.I have seen crazy things where real estate agents who own rental properties with leases stating a late fee within days of the 1st....when in Mass., its illegal until after 30 days.

We embrace S8 applicants, but screen them just like any other applicant.Many have an entitlement mentality and try to leverage their S8 voucher by pretending to be helpless:1) A percentage won't apply because they expect a landlord to waive application fees for them.2) Many cry broke and expect a landlord NOT to charge them a security deposit.3) Many of those same S8 tenants trying to avoid paying a security deposit, won't make an effort to call the list of nonprofits we send them that will pay their security deposit if they apply.4) A lot of them try to avoid paying for utilities.

We got lucky the county picked up the waste dump pickup and dump fees.
