I work in a VERY litigious field and so I completely recognize minefields when I see them.

Sorry for not recognizing you from the small photo on the profile Nate!

I've been burned before in showing a place and then the client used another realtor to secure the deal.

Looks to be a great place and I look forward to delving deeper into the community.I am a Realtor/Broker who helps investors and non-investors alike buy and sell individual homes in the area but I also help clients buy and sell large packages of investment properties.

I am a commercial mortgage broker with a giant buyers list, and I have many client investors looking for specific properties who are ready, willing and able to purchase today should a deal present itself that meets their specific criteria.I often hear from wholesalers who have "deals" but no buyers list.I'm wondering how to best become a matchmaker, any suggestions?

I knew the home was in a good neighborhood, growing city, recognized school district.

Hello JohnMy understanding is that the LLC will provide you better protection from things such as law suits, etc.Many of my clients have mortgages in their personal name and then transfer title to their wholly owned LLC.

I was hoping to look at FDIC data to find out "how much" rental income is recognized by US banks.

It never comes up with my clients on commercial transactions.

You have to realistic on what real estate can do for you.I have another client with 1,000,000 cash.
