In Cali we have standard CAR forms (Califonia Association of Realtors).

It is fairly standard language that the agent will be due the commission for a sale to someone they introduced to the property.  

I prefer using the standard CamScanner because then I'll have an actual image of the card instead of just the raw info, but I guess you could use both.

Standard in this area is 1 to 2 percent.

I still stick to my standards with my investments and rehabbing.

However, you may set a standard for your business, that you will not go after deals where you will not net a certain assignment fee. 

I'm seeking a consistent cash flow for a five year period; a goal of $2k per month the first year, expecting to be at $10k by year 5, therefore, it is my understanding to seek properties that are positioned for rapid appreciation to best meet my goals.Yes, I would prefer to leverage our investment dollars by obtaining a loan.  65% - 75% LTV seems to be the standard with conventional lenders. 

Yes, actually many standard banks and financial institutional will not lend on a property that is not seasoned.

-credit check (you will be subject to regulatory rules ), but the point of hard money is that the asset being lended on is your primary security - you must be ready to foreclose   -paperwork for professional HML companies is more or less like a standard loan package with some different terms.
