Lastly, I don't know what your long term plans are, but having a house to return to in the States if your international adventures don't work as planned can be a good safety net for you!

Perhaps for your first rehab ride, you find the deal, you earn a fee by letting someone else fund it, and simply be an "intern" on the first deal.

In general, the major brokerages are somewhat greedy and they would prefer to keep both sides of the commission "in house", so before any new listing is posted to a site like LoopNet, Costar or Crexi, it is passed internally to every other broker in the office and then within the intranet for that company, to see if anyone has a party to do the deal with.

This is an internal accounting requirement  You can cut a check to any member as a drawing or return of capital, to them individually, that's not an issue. 

@Julien PayneCongratulations on leaping international real estate! 

Bizarre times.Overall, this screams bad internal process, but it could just be a complicated deal. 

We do it internally, and done by number of bedrooms.

Recently, I’ve been interning as the COO for a Real Estate Investment company that handles flips, remodels, and out of state investments, with the goal of scaling the business for increased profitability.My military background has instilled in me core values like resilience, integrity, hard work, and effective leadership.

Best suggestion is that both agree to professional meditation or better yet arbitration.  

We bought and sold with Mike Morgan or Omni Homes International.
