A typical "origination fee" for a conventional loan is 1%.

I found a property on a listing service (listed by an agent on loopnet) and know of a company has an ad that says they're "looking for properties with equity"...is it acceptable to point it out to the buyer in anticipation of a finder's fee?

You don't have to pay all the fees involved with joining the MLS and having E&O insurance, but if you refer a potential client to your brokerage, you can get a small commission.

I'm sure there are some shady guys out there, how can I prevent a rehabber from cutting me out of a commission fee?

I purchase the house directly from you, so there are no real estate commissions or extra fees coming out of your pocket.

For wholesaling, use either of these, depending on what the end buyer will do, and then subtract off your fee.

Basically enough time to get one placed and rented then the next prior to lot fees.

Anywhere you go they are going to charge you to do the loan whether it be in the rate or fees you pay at closing.

If you offer a fee, how much do you think is fair and competitive?

Obviously special assessments and increased hoa fees will be coming soon to the current and future homeowners.
