You have begin absorbing data in such a fashion that will enable you to discern whether or not a property is a great value.

Ok...so a wholesaler would collect earnest money from an investor interested in purchasing the property?

I don't see any other way to legally collect a fee on it.

Mike,Unless your tenant has a VERY GOOD JOB, you'll never collect a penny of the damage.

There are very few disallowed investments -- collectibles, coins, life insurance.

Your only legal remedy is to sue them and then you will not collect.

If it is wrong at the credit bureau then it is wrong no matter who you use.There is always an issue of databases having bad data.

They seem to have more data, more ways to dice it up and view it.

For example:Closing on Purchase: MECash down payment: YOUFind tenants: MEScreen tenants: MEPrepare and sign leases and other dox: MEManage property (maintenance, escrows, rent collection): MEDecide to sell: BOTH OF USList property and conduct closing at sale: ME...From this you can better understand and justify an equity split.

Never mind that we'll need to legally modify several million loans, involving drawing up new documents, collecting signatures, updating systems, etc.Oh and we'll just ignore those stodgy old servicing contracts that our investors try to hold over our heads - I'm sure they'll understand, after all Sheila said it was OK!
