I usually place a realtor between me and a Buyer or Seller, take a referral fee, and have the agency participate in post liability issues.  30+ years doing business and no problems but it only takes ONE and if you are licensed, you reduce the risk and improve profitability.  

Any country in the world promotes tax deferred or tax free things that you can do and it is up to you to talk with an Accountant who knows what they are and head that way if you want to be in that business, like affordable HUD housing.

Here is what Wikipedia has to say: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piercing_the_corporate_veilThis part is interesting: “Piercing the corporate veil typically is most effective with smaller privately held business entities (close corporations) in which the corporation has a small number of shareholders, limited assets, and recognition of separateness of the corporation from its shareholders would promote fraud or an inequitable result.There is no record of a successful piercing of the corporate veil for a publicly traded corporation because of the large number of shareholders and the extensive mandatory filings entailed in qualifying for listing on an exchange.”

I might be losing few months rent, but she will not get a referral from me and she has to move out which will add to her expenses.all in all I hate to go through the court system, paying $400 an hour to the lawyer.

Were these loans not the same, or similar product to what is still being promoted through FHA financing?

Maybe wholesalers compensation for the lead/referral would be tricky if they aren't licensed.

Of course if your experience is an engineer and you are simply leaving a company for a promotion at another company with the same type of job the lender can count that.

Can anyone refer any great people to work with in Austin TX? I am looking for refferals for:

-Title Company/Escrow officer
- Real Estate Lawyer

Anything Helps!

If a deal is too thin I would like to refer them to another agent (for a referral fee) who will list the house.

Would appreciate any information on proper steps to take and referrals!
