I met the realtor through a referral from another realtor in another town.

I'm also offering a $500 referral for any leads you send my way that successfully closes"7.)

I want to eradicate this issue fast so I am looking for any referrals for someone that has extreme solutions to solve this ASAP! 

I also have a referral for a local lender for my next loan.

I'm unable to purchase (brand new to wholesaling) however I have a few buyers who would be interested based on her numbers (asking price and ARV).I was half way through my response to negotiate a referral/finders fee when I thought I may need an agreement in black and white for this.My instinct, being that this is business says of course!

The current owner failed his fire inspection and rather them having him fix it, our attorneys will have the seller put money in escrow to complete the repairs.Looking for any referrals on general contractors and/or licensed electricians who work in Essex County. 

Let me know if you need referrals in San Diego.

Looking for folks' understanding of "snowballing".From what I've found while Googling generally, it seems to be a hybrid of the "Debt Snowball" promoted by Dave Ramsey and "debt stacking" from Primerica in that it suggests to order debts by highest interest rate first, although the one with the highest rate may not be the highest outstanding balance.
