subject: How To Make International Finders Fees - Make Money From The Us Real Estate Market From Anywhere [print this page] If you live abroad and haven't yet figured out how to make international finders fees from the U.S. real estate market, stay tuned. There's a great way to make international finders fees regardless of where you live (this includes citizens of the U.S. as well) that is still largely undiscovered by the general real estate investing population. If you play your cards right, it could make you a six figure income this year, whether you live in Belize, or Bangladesh.
Finders fees on state-held funds in the U.S. are regulated. Money finders can generally only charge 10-15% on unclaimed funds held by the state. But that's okay, because the best source of unclaimed money isn't held at the state level - real estate overages. Due to a legal loophole, money finders can charge 50% or more on these transaction - and the funds typically range from $5,000-$100,000 or more.
Owners of these funds are generally completely clueless about where they could have money coming from, so they're the best group of people to work for international finders fees. They're willing to agree to your fee, and grateful to get back a large sum of money they otherwise would likely have lost to the government (since these funds escheat to the government after a short period of time).
So how to make international finder's fees from the U.S. real estate market? Collect these overages on behalf of U.S. citizens. It's legal to do from outside the U.S.
Working these funds is an all-around better choice than working state funds, for the reasons mentioned above, but also because they aren't nearly as public as funds on the state website. Most states have a feature on their website where you can look yourself up and see if you have any missing money. Real estate overages will never be advertised on this site, which makes your information extremely valuable.
Find records of these real estate overages, locate their owners, get them under contract for 50% and you're on your way to making some big money on international finders fees from your home office wherever you choose to live. Some of the most successful people working real estate overages are currently as far from the U.S. as Australia and New Zealand.
