Then sign some version of a personal receipt from me to my neighbors as recognition of their participation in the transaction? 

I don't see how it would be much different, as long as you don't appraise/inspect your own transactions as an agent.My thoughts were that it could help me as an agent as well, knowing how to educate buyers and sellers about potential issues with homes and what to look out for.

@Greg Reese you have provided us with a perfect example of why you should have your own experienced agent representing you in a real estate transaction. 

A lender won't allow a wholesale fee during a purchase and sale transaction which is why wholesalers require cash or hard money loans.

The GP also often gets a 1-3% acquisition fee based on the purchase price and some times a capital transaction fee of .25-1% that is paid on a refi or sale. 

I know when I did foreclosure rescue ( now basically illegal on the West Coast) I would sit with folks who were losing their home.. 

Each transaction in the Venmo App is labeled with the tenants name, and the amount, and their Venmo “handle” so you easily know which payment belongs to which tenant.

To do that would I be able to sell the properties to myself since they’re technically owned by the IRA or if not what would that transaction look like? 

Technically it all should all work smoothly as long as all the parties involved are aware of the transaction details (Seller, Wholesaler (Your Friend), Title Company, End Buyer (You)) being that wholesaling is legal in Texas.

@Richard Parker find a 100% commission company that may just charge you a fee for closing a transaction and or charging you a monthly fee?
