I would like to find out more about this opportunity, and what it entails. 

What does semi low risk entail?  

I joined their mentorship program so that entails giving that 15% to the managing broker in exchange for guidance and bi-weekly meetings with him. 

All this and all that it entails is what I need to have detailed in a contract. 

My acquaintances are willing to subsidize the remainder of the downpayment, which, with closing costs, would entail them contributing ~$28,500.

Those seem to usually entail your basic upkeep for a property i.e. clogged toilets, landscaping, snow removal etc.

I know you are talking about a live in flip, but dont forget what it entails.

Sure, you can list too and get that commission money, but with all the work that entails, you may want to skip that part.

I am always willing to work with Agents/ Brokers but now I will have to tread softly now that I know what it entails.

however, these are not small, or light, or without the possibility of breaking. they have moving parts, delicate electronics, tubes carrying liquid, etc that could all break during shipping. and while you may be able to return it, how long and how much hassle is that going to entail?
