What would be the "legal" terminalogy to classify the refferal fee under?

You don't need an excuse, most people will be glad to share their expertise with you, if you have the right attitude.Also, visit BP and check the "classified" section, where agents, lenders, contractors, etc. are peddling their wares.

If you are licensed versus an unlicensed person the real estate commissions view you differently.Even if you are wholesaling you are still a party involved in some way in a transaction.I know in some states you can be a broker right away and in others such as Georgia you have to hold active license for 3 years and pass the tests,etc.Our Georgia GREC commission classifies ANY real estate related activity that the agent underneath you conducts is the responsibility of the head broker.I don't know about Texas.There is no way I would allow any of this activity at my company especially with no compensation.You want all the benefit but let someone else take the risk.If you mess some things up wholesaling and make bank you just let your agent license lapse and keep wholesaling.The brokerage who's livelihood relies on keeping their firms license is the one cleaning up the aftermath.

If you have the Certificate of Occupancy (or equivalent) which states what your local building department has it classified for, then it should be clear what the attic/top floor can be used for bedrooms.

When your applying for a loan if it is within 100 miles of your primary residence (if you own your home) then it would automatically be considered an investment home, and won't be classified as a 2nd home unless it's in a vacation spot or something like that. 

That is why they deserve to be classified in inverted commas, until they learn to: Find their Buyers, or Fund their Buys!
