Simply put, the DOL fiduciary rule was designed to make sure that, if you hired a financial advisor to help with your retirement planning and assets, the financial advisor acted in your best interest, avoided conflicts of interest when possible, and was transparent with you about his or her compensation and fees.

Others can freely provide their own personal experience, provided they are not compensated by the company being discussed.

If they take the time to educate you help you thru the process, they deserve to be compensated for their time. 

Your title says she is looking for compensation, but nothing mentions it in the post. 

As the largest percentage owner and the manager for the deal I also took on additional responsibility, financial and otherwise, and would probably price it into the deal to be compensated for that additional work in the future.

In order for me to share that information with you, I need to be compensated."

Also, something else to consider is getting that SRF and renting out a room or two to compensate for the higher rental costs, but you would still need to qualify to purchase it based on your income so might be a little more difficult.

Only a handful of lenders are willing to expose themselves to that level of risk and there are compensating factors for why... most likely being experience and assets, which you have neither. 

There are deals that are border line and the only way we would do them if we are compensated for the risk, and then there are very solid borrowers and deals that I know any lender would love to do so I price those accordingly to have the best chance to win the business. 

Does that cover worker compensation issues?
