At the brokerage where I work we have hands down the best line of investor-centric (tm) triplexes and fourplexes in the state!

Id estimate though 50% of my networth to be in real estate, 30% to be in retirement tax sheltered accounts, and 20% to be in taxable brokerage accounts.

If you have someone who wishes to buy properties, are you are scouting opportunities for them, you are practicing real estate brokerage without a license.

I use one for my brokerage work and it never hurts to have that tax break and limit your liability.I agree with the others too, first getting more defined goals and then structuring your tax liability according to those goals.

I have recently partnered with a credit restoration company and a brokerage firm.

Since then I have transferred my license to the brokerage that exclusively sells this product line, which is turning out to be the best move of my 10 years in the business, and that client is gearing up to buy several more of our fourplexes.

Their owners, @Abhi Golhar and Walt Higgins were ecstatic to bring me on board and help facilitate the growth of a powerhouse company in charlotte that would encompass a Real Estate Brokerage which Abhi and I currently own together, a General Contracting firm, an Investment Firm, and a Project Management side for other investors. 

The split is what the selling brokerage will pay out to the buyer's brokerage for procuring a buyer.  

If something is missing in the right place it might give you an out.Also who is holding the emd, your agents brokerage, listing agents brokerage or the title companies?

Having done several contracts, lacking the legal requirements to contract, places you squarely as a real estate brokerage operation by facilitating sales.
