I want to eventually start a real estate private equity firm like Cardone Capital https://cardonecapital.com/ .

There are many landlords that desire to put a clause for every scenario. 

Will the company have to pay fees to my broker for purchasing an investment that the seller has desired not to list on the market.

We are firmly on the fence at this point, so any and all perspectives are more than welcome.

Interesting situation, you could sell it to the church and make a quick profit which then you could use to fund further rentals in perhaps a more desirable rental area.

Closed sales reflect a meeting of the minds between buyer and seller, while a listing reflects seller desire.

I work with many people who jumped into goal setting and skipped the why step and we spend quite a bit of time reorganizing their investing roadmap (sometimes repositioning whole portfolios to get them the results they actually desire in life). 

With the amount of liability landlords are now (and please, if anyone has more insight than I do, fill me in.) subject to, I no longer have a desire to.

We have a line on a house that’s being flipped in our desired location (El Dorado county, CA).

We do not require last month rent at our firm because it is not the norm for our market but we inherited a lease that had that provision.
