After some research, I've been seriously considering using a company like, Memphis Invest, as I've found a lot of positive reviews about them, and spoken with a few of their clients. 

my understanding is that if it were to be damaged beyond repair you would not be able to rebuild as a sfr, only commercial so that can affect the loan of a potential client

Who ever is the investor with a broker's license running it.. good for them, not so good for the clients. 

a "finder's fee" for referring clients, or providing 'leads' or 'lists' compiled from the MLS.

Your mom should join BP as well... great place for her to meet potential clients and establish herself on here as the go-to realtor in the area.I'd also set up keyword alerts so that you can receive a notification EVERY TIME someone mentions a topic of interest.

My only issue is, I don’t know how to find clients that are interested in investment properties.

I've helped a lot of investors get into duplexes around DFW but the most I've had a client spend is around 450k - obviously it all depends on the rent but given the sales price and the rent - it's a big no for me, but again, that's just me... but I'm sure others will chime in and say the same thing.

I'd buy their home and turn around and sell it to my clients.

@Rich Thomas I am not an attorney, but the advice I have heard attorneys give my clients is to form the LLC in the state where they are investing.

I proceeded to hire a contractor, recommended by my banker who was also a client of the contractor, and work began.
