How to get a commission from putting together a lending deal?

[Stuart Grazier]

Note gurus,

I quite regularly receive private lending opportunities and/or offers to purchase performing notes, but I often don't have the capital available to do all of the deals that come across my desk. However, I know of others within my network that may be able to do the deal. Instead of just passing on the deal because I don't have the funds at the time, I'd like to find a way to get paid by connecting other folks within my network to the deals that come across my desk. Is there a way to legally do this? Do I have to get a brokers license? How could I get paid some type of commission for putting the two together? Is there a way to wholesale a private lending deal? Or could I just write into the note purchase agreement a commission for connecting a private lender with an investor like a Realtor would on a house purchase? Lastly, can I advertise the opportunities on a separate thread via email and/or website forum (i.e. a closed group real estate club) without breaking any SEC laws? Thanks in advance for the help.
