I can live with that  In most states you need to be a licensed foreclosure consultant to do what you are proposing and comp for those services is limited to a certain amount.  

I had hired an out-of-state investment consultant and project manager who both turned out to be a complete disaster.

And to add to what you talked about, my marketing agency helps me with content creation and strategic organic growth  consulting but I do not do paid ads for my business or for properties.

Tax-wise, consult a CPA to handle the stepped-up basis and inheritance implications.

(Keyword research, competitor research, surveys, speaking to prospects on how they heard)If your research proves that there is demand, I would recommend you  to either hire a good agency who has proven track record in your industry or  hiring a fulltime  employee with relevant seo skills who can manage this.SEO/Paid ads with consultants or agency would be challenging as the results depends on various things such as your website, market, content, offer etc.

$30,000 for a consulting fee sounds like the way he makes his money, not by buying real estate / short-term rentals.

You should consult an attorney or CPA for your specific situation.ANONYMITY: When you create the LLC, your name is recorded on the documents and published on the Secretary of State's website for all to see.

I'd consult a Title CompanyInteresting idea you have here - hope it goes well!

I’d encourage you to consult a tax professional for specific determination and advice.  

over the period of time , we have observed that Individuals or entity get paid finders fee / consulting fee specially on commercial transactions .I would like some feedback.
