Hence the suggestion for procuring an environmental insurance policy.

-Looking to start building a network in the area (and just in general), bounce ideas off others, and just talk property.Where I am on my investment journey: -Bought, lived in, renovated, and sold a 1 bedroom, 1 bath condo in San Diego and came out of that deal with enough to “trade up” and procure my first apartment home here with the intent to “house hack” and start with a roommate.

Procurement is slowed down but is coming back up again.

I am looking for investors to put their business together and I can assist with anything having to do with procuring the asset.

I am trying to procure the types of investor buyers needed for that market by direct/personal relationships. 

If one of my listing agents procures the buyer the total commission goes down.. its never the full commish.. this is very standard for those that have experience at this. 

I would then review the cost break down, explaining how closing fees worked (commission fee, transfer fee, title fee, loan, lien and tax payoff etc)Then I would list the property in the MLS with the normal procuring fee of 3.5% (flat fee $2,870 and keep the rest of the flat fee (with my broker of course), the remaining $6,970.I don't feel this is unethical (in concept) for several reasons. 1.)

This deal was a little magical - I was outbid in this auction (see section below) and only managed to procure this property by chance.

If you paid cash for the home then you can easily procure a Line Of Credit from a traditional bank or from a hard money lender.
