Umm, did you ever learn that in order to market the property on behalf of a seller you need to be a licensed real estate agent? Thus, charging a fee to connect buyer and seller if you are doing the marketing will get you in trouble. Unless you are marketing a property in which you have an equity interest, as in a purchase option.

he wont get in trouble if he call’s it a consulting fee… plus if when doing the lease option he will ofcourse have the home under contract… the greats talk about it all the time controlling something that you dont own and not have to risk anything… :biggrin
