Remember that the CPA does not have to audit the client.

I would strongly recommend you try to discern that first or communicate these concerns you shared with us with him, and give him a timeline.

Where as the average client buys and sells a home maybe  in a  10 yea spans or can be longer If an agent is used again a time all.  

As a wholesaler trying to score a deal in this type of market, I would strongly suggest that you do your due diligence and make sure you have a buyer who actually wants what you are assigning. 

I personally do give breaks to repeat clients, so maybe talk to him.her about discounts on future deals.YOu can call around and see what other reputable agents are charging in the area.When you say a finders fee for off market deals, these may be deals where the seller is not paying a commission and he/she is using her network to find flips, foreclosures, probate. etc.  

As a Realtor that works with investors and is an investor, I can tell you that Realtors generally like adding an investor to their client list (I love working with investors).

If someone comes to me, I'll send them your way.If you need help in your search or want to verify something don't hesitate to ask.For example: I have clients worldwide and things are just as easy as I e-mail them, talking on the phone.

If you live close enough to pick the check up, I'd also strongly state that as my preference.And to play devil's advocate. 

@Sunitha Alli - I would strongly suggest you get qualified contractor bids on a project like this.

Traffic ticket lawyers bundle the appearances for all the clients onto one day. 20 tickets at $100 a pop is a $2000 day!
