I checked the credit card that I gave the lender to pay for the appraisal and I've been charged $685!

I'm just starting out with the wholesale business, and I would like to know what is the reasonable percentage to charge for a finders fee?

Double check on your State LLC annual costs because I was under the notion that the state of PA charged $500/yr for LLC and sent in the payment.

The franchised ones will charge you for MLS fees, monthly fees, who knows what fees, and if you aren't a full-time agent you will be paying for nothing.

We also have lien issues for utilities - I get around this is in one of two ways depending on the property:1. charge a $40-$50/mo utility fee per person in the unit.

I've never dealt with a bank that is fast about anything (other than charging silly fees on my personal accounts), so I wouldn't expect them to jump on your interest in the property regardless of how it would benefit them.The good thing about real estate investing is that there is always another deal around the corner.

He charges $3000 up front and then we partner up and split all of my deals for a year.

When you sayjust trying to sell us an extra 30K policy to cover the issues. do you mean Insure an amount of $30K or actually charge you $30K out of pocket.

There is usually only a charge if you print something.Jay

Also a realtor told me its illegal to profit off of people by stepping them through the loan mod process, I think perhaps thats just for realtors though...I got someone whos done dozens of these home mods if any of you are concerned, I say this because I know theres always someone who will jump on you lol...If theres no regulation, how would I charge for the service?
