To refi an investment in Texas is fairly straight forward if you are doing a rate and term to reduce the payment amount. 

@Marlina Eva Steinson my advice, before hopping straight into the industry, shawdow a successful agent for a year.

@Joseph HammelSome examples of estate planning I have done with my real estate clients include the use of family limited partnerships to freeze value of estate along with defective grantor trusts; LLCs with preferred interests (similar to debt instrument); sale of membership interests to defective grantor trusts; annual gifting of LLC interests using discounts for lack of marketability and/or lack of control, etc.

If someone is coming in 50-50 and you want to do a straight equity split, it is usually the easiest way to do things, or split based on what the equity contribution is.  

Even with discounted commission I would whether direct or indirect be paying $35,500 to $60,500 up and beyond what it costs me to get self-licensed after 10 years of not doing any transactions besides this upcoming sell and buy.Negotiations on price:  An agent won't make up for the commission in this in my particular market. 

If you want to go straight into multifamily then I would partner up with someone who's experienced and learn from them.

And then there is the discounted rate at which the CPA considers - not part of this topic.To keep this very simple in terms of discussion: 1-how do you track your profit when a note is paid off?

He’s knowledgeable, thorough, and straight forward.
