Thank you Bryan for the reply.

What Bryan said is correct, in that as soon as you do what I just describe, and accept investors into a business entity that you are sponsoring, you have sold securities to the investors, and potentially could be held personally liable for securities fraud (i.e., there is no protection because you are operating through a business entity) if something unforeseen happens in the deal (even though you have done nothing wrong).  

Hello Bryan,Is the seller willing to offer even a small commission to an agent?

@Bryan Hancock  Great recommendation on learning from a local syndicator!  

Hi @Bryan Watts, you say 'Aside from due diligence on the market, the sponsor, and his support team' but I think that's the most important step by far.

@Bryan Cifuentes The XX% rule means the purchase price plus repairs.

I'm with @Cori Bryan on this, I wouldn't want to be annoying. 

On-time payments make up 35% of your entire score, so make sure you are paying the cards on time (or early as @Bryan Otteson  suggested.

@Bryan Crow there's a lot to your question.
