Tax professionals deserve to be compensated for their knowledge. 

Interesting question to me, too-- I don't tend to practice in this circle... but I'll offer the following simply as food for thought/conversation:  In Mass, at least, it's illegal for a Broker to compensate an unlicensed person  (specifically, his/her Licensed Broker) for any brokerage-type services related to the property. the actions required to wholesale-- specifically the marketing of a property, representing a Seller in his/her efforts to sell an asset, and/or finding buyers for an asset, may (*read: DO) violate exactly those tenets. 

If this is a broker then you would have to ask if he is quoting you at Lender paid compensation or Borrower paid compensation. 

Then you can either transfer the remaining utility bill over to the new tenants so they pay any overage above the fixed cost (easiest) or charge the tenant an overage to compensate for any difference (makes more money but a little more work).Logan BoeschFreedom Solar Energy

@Yun HanDeloitte's specialty is International taxation of compensation for workers involved in overseas projects.

And your compensation is a commission  That's it.When you wholesale you're trying to get the property (under contract) for as cheap as you can and your profit can often be well in excess of 3% of the sales price. 

That changed about 6 months ago when I started a new job with a big tech company that effectively doubled my compensation overnight.

It was disappointing to learn I would NOT be receiving this loan but I am HAPPY I discovered the tricks and scammers that are out there, and because of BP comments, I was able to protect myself from becoming a victim.

For example, if a landlord chooses to finance the lease option themselves, they may charge a higher interest rate to compensate for the risk of lending to a tenant.

My post is just to provide non-legal, legislative clarity, in case someone else in BP Nation thinks the OP had a good idea for implementation in NC.The OP post details putting solar panels on a rental and charging the tenant for electric usage that the OP contemplates "Producing, generating," and further contemplates "delivering or furnishing electricity,... for the production of light, heat or power ... for compensation."
