I personally do give breaks to repeat clients, so maybe talk to him.her about discounts on future deals.YOu can call around and see what other reputable agents are charging in the area.When you say a finders fee for off market deals, these may be deals where the seller is not paying a commission and he/she is using her network to find flips, foreclosures, probate. etc.  

This can be say a quarry that matches 2, 3, or more lists (table fields).

Again, I don't know the area so don't take what I say as completely correct.

Thanks for the reply I think my difficulties would be the down payment in this situation plus tif the don't account for the rent income my W2 job wouldn't qualify for the size loan which is whee I'm stuck at trying to figure out any advice on this would there be a way VI's say a hard lender for the down on the FHA or any other options like mentioned before I'm still very new and learning a lot everyday on how to go about buying property's as an investment

Other than ocean front/view, lake front/view, & ski in/out I would say a pool is the most valuable amenity you can have.

Joseph - are you saying that you recommend that if an investor wants to invest in say a 20-30 unit building out of state, that they manage it themselves? 

Not to say a lender would not, but more likely would be if a violation were to exist, the lender may demand you to refinance with another lender but to call the note due, in my opinion, would be remote.The rent capture requirement does seem restrictive. 

When you have say a 300k property that rents for 1500 and you can sell it for 450k after renovation, that's clearly a flip market. 

For example, if the company is generating 50K in revenue per year (let's say a net of 15K), how do you value this when buying out the partner that is departing?

It would be great to have a calculator that allows an LP to see projected profit over say a 10 year period and adding 1 to 2 more investments per year (and rolling over existing projects) to project passive income over a 10, 15, or 20 year period.
