Now, after this, if you find a property on your own and, do the analysis on it for a buyer and, the buyer is willing to pay you the fee for it - either by putting together a contract with an assignment clause - wholesaling, - or simply giving the information to the buyer, bird-dogging - technically, the fee the buyer would pay you, would have to be routed thru the broker and the broker must get his cut.

I finally woke up and realized I was spinning my wheels.
