From there, our mastermind component really helps plug any gaps, answer burning questions, etc.

I'm hoping to connect with some experienced investors who can offer guidance and answer some questions.Hey Ashley!

I would guess that an employee in the zoning department could answer questions, too.  

The answer to that question will probably be eye-opening for you!

Quote from @Dan Shallcross: Your PM should know the answer and be leading the way aggressively.

Bonus 4: develop a list of questions you want to get answers to before you do any opportunity.

@Destiney E Goins please ask more specific questions that we can actually answer!

@Ashish Acharya your answer is straight and to the point, thank you. 

Let me know if you have any specific questions, and I’ll be happy to answer!

My humble advice to anyone attempting to do creative finance is:Creative finance is for experienced investors who have access to capital if anything goes wrong.Learn the lawsDon't use a contract "off the internet", laws vary by state and are also regulated on a federal levelLearn the financing techniques correctlyDon’t skip parts of the processDon’t ever do a “kitchen table” closingUse the proper deedAn attorney can help you with the legal work, but the rest you are on your ownYour guru will not bail you out“Investing” in someone else’s deal by providing a small 2nd loan so the “investor” can pay for “cash to the seller” and for “closing costs” so he can do the deal is a very bad planKnow what problems can ariseLearn the responses and solutions to problems before they are neededKnow everything there is to know about Title and what that meansKnow who a "protected class" individual isLearn the "back doors"Learn human natureUnderstand timelinesUnderstand regulation enforcement (some of these "mistakes" have a 10 year statue of limitations ( they can charge you 10 years AFTER you do the transaction) and carry hefty fines and possible imprisonmentThe court doesn't accept "I didn't know" for an answer"Know that the source of the lead plays a serious role in some states and federallyKnow how much of a "profit" pushes the boundaries to invite an investigationYou can be sued by the seller if you don’t do things correctlyYou are automatically at fault if an investigator or attorney or regulator gets involved.
