., exactly as @Natalie Kolodij said, it's a tax savings for me right now AND as an added bonus a way to ensure she has a good down payment if she wants to get into real estate later.  

They are investor focused realtor which is a bonus!

Bonus step: Make sure you are placing money in your TSP as you can later pull a mortgage out of your TSP where you are paying yourself back with the interest (I never contributed to my TSP but I had many NCOs figure out this loop hole)

I have heard suggestions to pay a contractor a bonus for completing work early and penalizing for late work.

Something I’m good at, so added bonus!

•Do they have a formal trainning program and mentorship•Do they use a quality CRM•Do they have an experienced marketing team•What is the average annual gross commission for an agent in their office•Is there a specialist in the category of CRE I am interested in (Office, Retail, Industrial, Medical, etc) that can help me grow

My concern, though, is it seems like Wholesalers get a bad rap, and I do NOT want to be lumped in the "shady Wholesaler" category.

Don't choose the market based on that, but it can be an added bonus.

Originally posted by @Abel Curiel:Not sure about your market but here in NY, Section 8 pays a bonus to the landlord at lease signing. 

I'm sure there are some exceptions but my experience is that you have to be a little lenient or at the very least realistic that most buyers aren't going to be perfect in all 3 categories.
