What is a referral fee amount?

[Robin Miller]

I didn't know where to ask this question, forgive me if I am in the wrong section. The question is, if I have an owner/developer of a property that is seeking funds to complete it, and I find the investor that has the money for JV or loan or whatever they work out, I heard one time that whatever amount they settle on, my owner would pay me, not the investor correct? And that owner could pay about 1 to 2% of the amount settled on, does this sound correct? I was told that years ago, and 2% is warranted because of the scarcity of money. Another person told me that it should be a finders/referral fee of WAY less like .000625 which sounds crazy but I am willing to listen to what makes sense. Thanks!!!

I am in Mexico, so U.S. rules will not apply.
