Some mentees will act as a bloodhound for the mentor, knocking on doors, driving for dollars, scouring the internet, making cold calls, or performing other services that help the mentor find new deals.

Specifically in reference to what is owed if a client terminates services. 

My team services all those areas you are interested in, let me know if I can help you find your next deal.

This allows you to purchase with 3.5% -5% down allowing you keep most of your money reserves.

Make sure it explicitly explains the process for termination if you are unhappy with their services, especially if they violate the terms of your agreement.3.

You can get financing but it must be non-recourse and requires 30-50% down with 10-15% in reserves.  

@Ammon JensenFor this purpose I do not believe you can write this off, add on that you are paying ordinary income on the 10-12% which let’s say is 20% and after servicing you may actually be losing money every month.

That is a lot of work if I am the only one you are sending it to, but I bet your email list would grow quickly if you provided that level of service.      

Since they are really just lead platform and not full service (like Airbnb) tenants do not always leave reviews.

This also allows you to build reserves and monies to cover repairs/maintenance, capital expenses, and vacancy costs.
