My team consists of those who provide acquisition opportunities, my contractor/sub team which is my painting crew, framers, flooring installers, masonry guys, landscapers, etc., my RE agent who performs a lot of my upfront due diligence on potential acquisitions and also is teh agent who lists the properties for re-sale on the exit, my escrow company, my title company, my attorney, my project manager (in this case - he is my Brother), and my insurance agent.

It's simple really if they don't get paid until funded at closing and you pay the appraiser directly for upfront fees keeping the so called lender from PADDING anything then they most likely are real.If they ask for money upfront they can call it whatever fee they want.They keep changing names so people do not think it is a scam and then never fund the deal.Really think about this if a lender gets a bunch of money upfront they have low motivation to close your deal.It's like mailing someone a 1,000 that is 100 miles away from a building and saying drive here and paint this unit today.Versus having a 1,000 but not paying a dime until the work is completed.For every real lender I see about 8 out of 10 that are scammers and are just churning due diligence fees.This is rampant in commercial real estate.First question I ask a lender who calls is do you have to put up ANY money before closing other than direct payment to the appraiser??
