They probably won't have to fire sell it at the level you are offering.

., In the upper right hand corner, do a search for the 50% rule and/or the 2% rule to use as a GUIDE, concerning rental properties.

If you are saying the LO has 1 point lender paid compensation higher than the other lenders they work with, or different compensation levels with many different lenders, this could be looked upon as steering by the CFPB.If the borrower qualifies for Provident and the originators compensation is equal to all other lenders they work with Provident would be the borrowers best opportunity then the originator should send the loan to Provident because it's in the best interest of his/her client and not because the LO has to work harder.

I like the fact that when I do commercial deals I know what is going on with a transaction and do not have to worry about an agent not telling me something and cleaning up a mess of epic proportions.There were a few good agents but I didn't want to mess with residential on any level.

My .02$As a experienced wholesaler, Im not sure your concerns are necessary.To ThomasThere are other expenses like marketing,buying leads, my phone, paper, ink, internet service, etc. etc. but all these things are just tallied up as cost of doing business.I use the same formula as above but sometimes I use .65 depending on the motivation level of the seller.Taxes are pro rated at closing, I dont buy any insurance (why would you?)

Rehabing a fixer upper with 3 apartments in Ontario may cost 150K if you hire a contractor to do the whole work and management, including all electrical and plumbing.I can do a Rehab for around 35K if I don't need to redo all electrical and plumbing (3 brand new kitchens and baths), but I have to hire contractors by the hour, be there every day and tell them what to do and not to do.You also have to know what the tenants like or not and what they are willing to accept.Filipe

My first solo fixer upper was on 322 in port Matilda.   

I am a Realtor in upper SC and have seen many instances of people getting licensed and thinking its going to be instant success for themselves.
