If they have the leads, and close the deals, why wouldn't they just sign up the with lenders and get paid 100%?

You're absolutely right, Allen. I thought about the same thing (which is why I wrote that reason in there).

But I also thought:

Some states require lengthy processes to open a business.
Some people don't have the drive to handle the back end of running a business.
Some people can't sign up with the better funders out there unless they're sending X amount of paper.
There's a million reasons why someone would want to push files my way - and get paid - than sign up with a funder directly.
Maybe I'm the bridge from leaving their current shop - to opening their own company.

I posted this to let people know... I'm open to co-brokering.
