What I would like to know from the Realtors out there is what fee's can be accepted from a non-Realtor, that's not associated with a closing, and also isn't deemed a commission?

We are currently doing mailouts to non-owner occupied properties which has had a huge success rate.

(non working outlets, automatic garage door openers, toilets that take an extra flush, closet doors that come off the track ect, fireplace not working...)

Especially that it's getting to be Spring time.Any brain storming ideas for non-agents to monitize these leads?

However, many banks will only due up to 4 properties (which we had before acquiring these), so finding one that would do more and not charge points for a non owner occupied refi took a little while.

Does the LLC protect the seller from non-disclosures?

If they are all over the place o elusive or non-committal I do not spend 10 seconds with them.If you are shadowing a top producer they should be giving you tools and processes they use to generate business and close deals related to your niche.

Coming in unknown, announcing that you are "revolutionizing" the industry, and asking a thinly disguised leading "question" so you can promote your business is an obvious ploy most experienced members see through.If you do have knowledge of the hard money lending industry, taking your time to answer questions, providing unbiased information and sharing your knowledge will go a much longer way to promoting your company than your current "non" participation.

Maybe ignorance is bliss as a non US investor Josh :-).Insurance is potentially a problem we don't have back home.

The time between being in non-compliance and the time you are re-instated is lost rent that you do not recover.
