You also implied that we don't specifically price deals for our clients and the client's "rates and fees will be much higher".

And @Michael Plaks is correct that setting up in GA didn't avoid the CA LLC fee. 

But a big difference when your costs stay mostly flat.) whether the property is positive or negative $100-$100/mo should make zero difference to you.

It comes with guides on how to ride the tubes, a crash course in local customs, places of interest, places to avoid, and holly cow it looks just like what they had in there heads of what a London "flat" would look like, so charming and so "Brit"..... 

Private Money Lenders (PML): More flexible, relationship-based funding with lower fees.

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

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

Or there can be being a GP in a syndication, where you have, effectively, no money down: source $3mm deal, commit $50k with your LPs, collect 3% acq fee ($90k) without ever funding your $50k... you pocket $40k, and have a $50k interest in the deal. 

There are consulting companies who do this (for a fee) and i can also share some contacts if you need some. 

Not necessarily a scam, maybe someone trying to save fees.
