I run the fulfillment side of the group now and although I didn't join HFF I was lucky enough to join the 7 Figure Flipping group when it just started as just a member. 

I don't think you get title until the contract is fulfilled. 

We all have a job to do and a role to fulfill and homeowners who need the services we provide.If you were in an investor setting, you would hear resentment toward RE agents just like you hear the opposite in your agent classes.

Originally from the Nashville, TN area, my wife and I quit our secure, well-paying jobs, sold our primary residence and moved here to her hometown to fulfill a dream - a dream of eating pasta and drinking wine every single day.

Anyone who wants money before evaluating your loan/deal should be avoided like the plague.If you attend COREE, seek out @Seth Hayes, at one of the outside tables, he's legit, and he can help answer some questions for you. well the lady who owns do hard money keeps getting on here saying they no longer require the 3k or 5k up front but remember your dealing with very good Utah based fulfillment companies and back end sales folks those are some of the best in the business at extracting mentor and education type monies from folks I have been to many of the fulfillment companies there.. and they are pros no doubt.. local is always best for HML.. your local HML is going to know the neighborhoods much better and not rely on some appraiser they hire .. 

Bonus Question: For those of you that have used smaller/local banks for funding, how did you go about finding out what those "portfolio lenders" offered to fulfilled for your particular desire?

At that point, the owners of the home (kids) could record an instrument at the county clerk that says the mortgage is fulfilled in full, and the kids then all own the home  (free and clear from a mortgage).Be careful of: what type of ownership the kids take title to the property in.

Now HML broker has sent me an invoice for $3,500 demanding I pay it immediately because he fulfilled his contract obligation to me.

No your going to get with the back end fulfillment department that is a boiler room with a bunch of kids reading from scrips.. ask me how i know..

When will the leases be fulfilled?
