Stephen Barton Marketing Fees in Indiana - Legal or Not?
8 October 2014 | 8 replies
The law says that no unlicensed entity can receive 'any' considerations due to the purchase/sale of real estate.That means gift cards, credit points, discounts, cash, etc at closing.Like @Dev Horn says if you pay a flat fee for each lead then that isn't a consideration for closing any transactions and it would be strictly lead generation.If somebody brought me a deal and I closed on it before paying them If I was fearful of paying them for it bc they were unlicensed then I think I would simply give them the option to have money out into a marketing campaign for them to manage.Like buying 1000 direct mail letters with their information on it bc that would be you putting money into marketing vs giving a consideration.

Now, if you get financing for a clean but from the bank, you'll have few issues with your cash buyer, but if your buyer is getting financing, that lender will question the recent sale and what you added to the property to justify a higher price.Just working hard isn't going to make that easy, glad to hear the ethical side, but deceiving a bank in a RE transaction is another federal violation.

Andrew M. The Joy of Buying Short Sales

I think what I failed to mention is that in its present condition my condo is in as good of condition as the one that just sold for $83k, so to me, that's $10k of "equity"...by definition if you buy any real estate at market value you start with negative equity (due to transactional costs to sell/liquidate the investment), so even if I just broke even if I had to resell, I view that as still having equity given that fact (not sure how others view that).
