I bet you've paid more than just a membership fee, particularly if you've done any deals.Here's the most curious part of your review.

Investors, and in particular those that do *not* manage their properties - how do you track your properties? 

Our demand is too great in this particular town. 

Investors often wonder which cities are poised for growth and offer strong rental demand, as well as how to navigate financing options in today’s economic climate.Another key concern is how to manage properties from afar, particularly if you're considering out-of-state or even international investing.

The exculpation and limitation of damages clause seems overly broad, particularly with the QI limiting liability even in cases of negligence or misconduct, like wire transfer errors.

However, that won't work for several reasons:  1) The lender is not going to finance the $15k assignment fee2) The lender isn't going to consider the purchase price in this example to be $150k, they would typically use the $135k price in the original contract, and 3) In this particular example they may not even use the $135k price because it's not an arms-length transaction since it ultimately boils down to a deal between you and your father.I applaud you for trying to be creative, but ultimately what you're proposing isn't going to work and it's going to make the transaction a lot more complicated than it needs to be.

I provide a dog, bowls, and dog blankets to put down on a particular couch, and I tell guests to keep dogs off the furniture (not all listen, but it helps).I also put dog waste baskets, poop scoops, and more outside to help with cleanup.   

You're absolutely right, creativity is essential to make deals work in this environment, and building from the ground up, especially in high-demand areas like Raleigh, can be a great solution.Your current project sounds like a smart move, particularly with the zoning for a duplex and ADUs.
