I'm looking for some info on what's considered typical vs what fees would be indicative of a bad lender - not the dollar amounts, just the categories, though if there are standard $$ ranges to be aware of, please say so.

Go into the third category because there's virtually no competition".

Your business model needs to build in performance bonuses that are substantial.

You might try reading through some of the posts in the wholesaling forum, as well as the articles under the wholesaling category.

As I'm typing I'm guessing managing a property, making decisions about private loans or spending your time make selections of what mutual funds or stocks to buy could possibly all fall in the same category, so maybe all of that is okay?

If Austin or Cali's real estate markets appreciate that is a bonus for my style of investing.

Or you can consider how many houses you have to buy (if you are an investor) because that is an automatic 3% back for closing costs, renovations, etc that would be going to somebody else if you did not have a license (this was the primary reason I even got my license, so any of the deals I have closed representing others have all been a bonus).My brother is a pilot and I am recommending he get his license to take advantage of his down time.

For me I discovered it was best for me to stick with a couple of categories and concentrate on them.

You had the ability with incentives and bonuses to make $100k a year, would you pickup and move?

I was curious as to how much investors, who are in the metro and surrounding areas, have netted for SFR flipped homes that are in the 150k or less category in 2012?
