@Klavish Farajno offense intended, but if all she has in the world is 100K, I don't see how private lending would be a good idea...conversely, if she is a HNWI and has say $1M and is looking to diversify, then I guess it's a different story...

No offense BP! 

From what I gather, its been ran less like a business in the past and that's what the tenants are used to, which means if you take it over, they will continue with that expectation, whereas it sounds like you want to run this like an actual business (no offense to your family). 

No offense intended. 

My analysis however does not take into consideration the effect of an unforseen global shock or tragic event which could shake all markets, but that is the case at all times regardless of what the last ten years have looked like. 

(sorry to any attorneys, no offense)

No offense, but it doesn't sound like you're a very good friend, or a particularly experienced businessman. 3) As Jason pointed out, asking for a commission rebate and creating a dual agency scenario are two separate legal questions, which could potentially have different answers in the same state.

I have an applicant with a violent criminal offense in the fairly recent past that I want to deny on that basis, and I want to do it legally and smoothly.

Please don't anyone take offense to my above post as nothing bad is intended by it.Oh yea, my numbers.32 years old now, retire at 55. 5k to 6k a month income 500k saved.

Since everything is going more global - there really should be a national license with a minimum fee paid to each state to do business there.
