Tax structuring and LLC advice you can get for a paid fee too.

I'll settle for a variation of this and give a little, but I simply pass on PMs who hand me a term sheet with 10+ different types of fees.

Unfortunately, I don't think Texas has reciprocity with any other states.You can get a referral fee.

The best strategy I seem to have deployed so far was to contact all my current tenants and let them know I’d give them a cash referral fee of $250 for anyone they recommend to me that goes through the vetting process and successfully moves in.

You'll want to look at their reviews, how they safeguard your funds, understand what their fees are, and how responsive they will be to your questions (do they work 9-5 only). 

In this case we are the renters of the space and did not have any reason to think the sq ft was calculated on anything other than actual measured space since we also pay a CAM fee.

I’m not sure who paid legal fees but they must have been significant. 

The 5% of the remaining balance late payment fee is a little much IMO. 

The new buyer puts down 10% as the option fee, ($50,000 fee to our buyer) in this case, and we make the rate 10% to the new buyer for the monthly payment.
