Out of the blue, right then,  my phone rang and a friend of mine wanted to know if I wanted to invest in real estate with him....I took that as a sign....haha Well long story short, he eventually borrowed from a hard money lender and decided to invest in the property himself...since then we have still been in close contact.

You would be better off collecting a fee if they buy a property that you send to them.I wouldn't pay $50 per house for just a report but I would pay a bird dog fee at closing for finding a house that I eventually buy.However, another idea is if you bundle them up and sell a list of 20 to 30 possible leads at once then you might be able to collect an upfront fee.

My father and I are starting a fix and flip business and are eventually looking to build a rental portfolio.

I have had some turn over on properties but eventually I find the right tenant and now most of my properties have multi-year tenants with little problems.

Eventually, I will want to have this property as a NNN lease or Absolute Net lease property with practically no or very little management required.Exit Strategy #2: Stabilize and Flip.

I would eventually like to leave this position but still like to have time to pursue a local music career.

You know that, eventually, a 6 will come up. 

@Joel Owens I like that plan eventually, but I think I am a little short of capital to hit some of the deals we discussed. 

This will really help me to see where I am at when i eventually get my property.

It won't increase the rent by itself but it probably increases how rentable the property is and if you eventually combine with other upgrades could help the rent.
