Outside of the "friend" part of this and issues with being compensated as a realtor, my other concern is being able to use Rendredi without it being my property.

I am senior in college graduating this coming May and have secured an insanely high paying tech job in the DC area working for a big tech company making a total compensation(base salary, bonus and stock) of 233k my first year(very cash heavy only about 4% stock).

I'm down for some extra compensation, provided that I get to withhold their payment when i get complaints on housekeeping from guests...

Regarding getting your license, it’s nice to have, you’ll only need it to represent others and gain a fee or compensation for your efforts anyway because contracts written in your own behalf does not require a license in most states.

Flips are a lot of risk and work and we want to be compensated accordingly. 

I can see the demand, particularly in snow-bird-centric locations, but I don't think landlords are compensated for that risk. 

Is there a "typical" or expected pay scale for a general contractor?

Some of these rules include forming and funding the LLC with both IRAs from the beginning, not using the LLC funds for personal use and not receiving compensation for managing the IRA funded LLC. 

Non traditional financing has higher risks for whomever is willing to lend, therefore lender would want to be compensated for higher risks (for example if someone cannot demonstrate the ability to repay, underreported self-employed income, too many properties, not enough income on paper to sustain multiple mortgage - to name a few).

You want to learn the programs and guide lines in and out like the back of your hand.When you interview you need to make sure you are asking the important questions for best compensation and also best results for your customers.You asked a good question regarding sales technologies, its vital to have tech tools that make your life as well as your customers and real estate agents life much easier.
