As long as you are not soliciting/ promoting a company as an employee or you have some association where you benefit there is no worries with making it a public conversation.

If you're going to sell the house, you have to figure in fees associated with selling it.

Just some food for thought.Regardless of buying in rent control or not, I also recommend you and @Ben Wakefield read past publications from the Apartment Owners Association (AOA) in CA to start learning, their magazines always have lots of great articles (aoausa.com).

I have no associated costs to deduct.

I recommend that you attend your local real estate investment association.

If they want me to meet after normal business hours, it is the tenants responsibility to pay any associated overtime fees related to it, they pay for calls during normal business hours.

Interesting.Maybe he associates rich white people with Germantown?

Seems like the fees associated would be too high and it wouldn't make sense to use.

In terms of cost to hold your license, certainly any cost associated specifically with this deal should be covered by the partnership (MLS fees, broker split, etc), but given that I assume you'd keep your license and incur costs even if you didn't do this deal, compensating you for your general business overhead doesn't really factor in for me.What if one of your partners was an interior designer...should he get paid more for that expertise or to cover any costs associated with any interior design credentials he has?

Many associations have such tings.
