And it's super cheap to advertise there (you pay a listing fee rather than a cut of each booking.)

Most of them are however I am "thinking" I may have a shot a negotiating additional money off if I can say to builder that I know they are not paying the realtor fee.  

So the only difference I see is that I have to pay an additional origination fee of 1-2 points on hard money.

Basically sounds like you’re putting down an extra $20k for…Him choosing the property (I assume/hope it’s really you both choose or it’s actually to his advantage to pick it, so this I feel can be disregarded.)Him running all the property management. 1) feels like he might get sick of doing all the work and forget why he’s doing it. 2) you’re paying $20k more to not have to do it so how long would it take for property management fees to reach $40k?

You've got to be transparent that you're helping them get a cash offer on their property by bringing them (the seller) together with the buyer for a fee.2.

They charge you fees up front.

They will always go off the lower number, and you will need to bring a down payment and closing costs (the standard title and insurance fees for escrow, as well as document and origination fees).
