In my state, you have to be a licensed agent to be able to refer clients to other agents and receive a referral fee.

I wanted to speak with people that have used the firm, but they wouldn't provide references due to client confidentiality.  

I charge what I charge and earn every penny, you either pay that, or get someone cheaper, but usually less qualified.However, I will usually work a deal for regular clients, but the discount always comes on the backend, resale.

If you are going to purchase for an investor client then it is what it is.

We set up "hot sheets" for our clients that automatically mail them bank owned properties.Not much to market to here at least in Utah.

I'm in need of some unbiased market research data that I can use to make educated recommendations to my primary client as to which market in the mid-west they should look towards investing in the multi-family sector.

The cost gets passed along to the clients.

I always ask my clients if they are willing to pay asking price.

Zac,We too offer a portal for our clients, but you can see the actual invoice, pictures, leases etc...

One will limit the loan size to $650,000 and the other $750,000.What you've described are terms that would be offered to a strong bank client who doesn't need the money to do the deal.
