We believe rehabbing this house could be a great addition to our portfolio.I’ve consulted several architects who’ve indicated that I could potentially build up to seven 1,250 sqft homes on the lot.

My instinct tells me yes if I can find quality properties at my price point, but that there could be some benefit to putting it all on one potentially more reliable/higher quality structure. 

You are asking legal questions and your best bet would be a quick consultation with a knowledgeable real estate attorney in your state.

To be a reliable and successful Private Money Lender, focus on building strong relationships with borrowers and real estate professionals, thoroughly assess each investment opportunity by conducting due diligence on the property and the borrower's financial background, and establish clear lending criteria to mitigate risk.

They're more blue collar and are not always the most reliable if they're too tied up in other projects.

.- Consider consulting with a real estate agent or property manager to get a better sense of the rental potential.If you're not in immediate need of the cash, renting could be a good option, especially if the numbers work out.

Where do I find someone with whom I can consult on my situation, booking a meeting and just talk?

I think I'll just pay some sort of consultation fee and have a engineer or architect review them and make any necessary corrections.

I have listened in on their free consultations just to get an idea of what they offer and what I discovered is that they teach the same things found in books you can find on Amazon written by Brandon Turner or J Scott. 

To get pre-approved for a loan, speak with a mortgage lender, research neighborhoods that fit your budget and lifestyle preferences, and consult with a real estate agent.Good luck!
