I believe they just take a cut for what they get you.

It is where I can spend the money to make it my own rather than taking a cuter home for more and still wanting to spend $$ to make it my own.  

That is to repackage what others  created and market it with a cute name like Gator Method. 

I'm guessing he probably gets a cut, but he's done as good as I was able to do on my own when I lived there.

Yes, it would be a 100% LTV for them, but they're not concerned with that number, their interest lies more in the monthly payments that I will give them.If you were me, would you take a cut upfront as a fee (let's just say $5k), then keep the monthly cashflow as a reserve?

I also believe they typically take a cut of whatever they get.

And on top of that I have seen files were there has been over five wholesalers, making a cut from the sale of a property. 

The money exchange between banks, that countries government and ours all will take a cut as well.

A young guy I know bought a cute vintage camper, sprayed it black, cut a window in the side and built it out as a mobile coffee shop, which is now parked outside of events and staffed with college girls.
