I would avoid any upfront fees or applications fees, everything should be paid at closing, so we all have the same incentive to get you to the closing table.

Your leaving money on they table if you can't accommodate this.

It's all run under the table currently and haven't had any problems, but want to formalize this as a business to avoid any hardship down the road.I don't know how I should be protecting myself here.

Yep, I saw the same thing @Joel Owens back in 2005-2007 or so when I quit going, what had been a room in the basement that would ALWAYS have many open seats and tables had steadily become standing room only and even some weeks with some of usually the regulars out in the hallway since we'd know depending on the law firm handling the sale, an approximate time it would come up.

I can bring great skills and business experience to the table, so we both can grow our business successfully.

@Chris MartinAgree5-6 years ago when blockchain rage was saying all real estate will be on blockchain - still have yet to see a way blockchain is used where it has added benefitThe odds of getting counties all to buy into this and fire the clerks working at recording office for last 30 years is not gonna happen.Similar to seeing “fractionalized” real estate - which to me is no different than a public company and owning shares - you have a cap table.

Lennar, for example, has introduced  incentives to the table, because Fort Myers and North Fort Myers area (the one developing now) are not a key migration market.

Discriminating against people who have an under the table job or no job!

What are you bringing to the table?
