We never let them take advantage of us, we still charge late fees.

If both parties are unrepresented, and you just make the connection and want to charge either or both of them some kind of consulting/admin fee, that would conceivably be allowed...if your broker allows it*, and the if fee is paid to your broker.The customer always pays the broker, and the broker always compensates the agent - you can not be paid directly by the customer as a sales associate.

the gurus sell the idea of wholesaling as easy and no money down but that couldn't be more wrong. there is no guarantee return on the money invested in marketing . a wholesaler needs to do a lot, a lot of research to the local market where they are trying to find deals. you need to not only find the deal but prove that it is one to a potential buyer/investor. now Im not trying to discourage you, there are plenty of ways of getting started without MUCH money down .you can get a few cards made at a copy/print shop. you can talk to people and let them know what your trying to do. you can build a social media platform which is free. remember as a wholesaler your simply trying to find the deal then sell it at a commission. a friend of mine that is an agent uses their title company  to find information on houses in my neighborhood,  become friends with agents!.

@Anthony Gayden  insightful  post ... affordable housing in the northwest is an Oxymoron.given govmit regulations and systems development charges .. price of land.. there is no such thing as new construction affordable housing..

An amount equal to 2 full month’s rent for all leases with a term of 36 months orlonger.That means if the PM finds a short-term tenant for 3 months, they can still charge FULL month's rent.  

You can also factor upsides like splitting meters, charging tennants for utilities, carports, storage or garages.

If the sponsor has some challenges with credit then lenders who fund them will charge higher interest rates and fees.So in short all of those parameters that you asked about are "typical" but just know that the rate and terms of any multi family loan are dependant on the state of the property and the financial strength and creditworthiness of the sponsor. 

She, also put her friend in charge of handling the will matters.
