I have exclusively fix and flipped properties and I'm considering changing my strategy.

There are parents/sisters/friend/grand children, total 6 adults 4 children. 

We do have exclusive buyer's agency though - the buyer is committed  to the agent and will pay the commission if he's going with another agent.It's not common in Cleveland, at least, not everywhere, but very customary  in other areas.

Maybe that property will go to foreclosure and be available in a year or so when I'm more seasoned ;) I had somewhat of an "Ah ha" moment after realizing that I can possibly pursue two paths that are not mutually exclusive for the use of the capital I want to invest:   conventional loans for buy and hold investing, and at the same time utilize hard money lending to rehab distressed properties. 

These are stores that buy from multiple manufacturers and then sell to contractors more or less exclusively. 

Complexity being that my mom is retired and doesn't want ANY income for whatever financial planning reasons and she doesn't want to do the work, but she's liking the idea of keeping the wealth in the family and we've had a very good financial relationship for my entire adult life.
