How Would I get Paid for this?

[PamJM]

I have an investor acquaintance whose father wants to sell 3 local Bed and Breakfasts.  He said that if I find a buyer they would pay me a fee.  How would I do this, legally?  I am not a realtor, so I don't want to do anything wrong.  I was thinking of getting it under contract, like a wholesaler, but the SELLER would be paying me, not the BUYER....help....

Anyone buying, selling or brokering real estate can pay a "referral fee" or "finder's fee" to a non-licensed person.  You'd have to check with the laws of your State as there is probably a maximum amount - usually a flat fee that is not a percentage of the purchase price.

How do you plan on selling the B&Bs?  Do you have the experience to sell that type of property?  You might want to do a google search of brokers that specialize in that type of property.  You could work out some kind of referral fee with them...
