DIY online cost segs that are <$1k are being tossed out in audit like yesterday's garbage lately. 

Learned a $60,000 lesson this way on my first house.

We meet on the first Thursday of every month.

A lot of the cost is associated with the drive to get out and back to our lake house.If your friend isn't listed on VRBO, she is missing out on revenue and bookings. 

I don't see mcuh on this business partner. 

20 year resident, I've flipped several homes here on Maui.

I would do some online research into Realtors in your area to see if you can make a connection.As @Michael Dumler pointed out, wholesalers are going to be a more reliable source for consistent off-market properties with margin.

Take your $5k of saving, and borrow another 5K by placing a home equity line of credit on your house.  

also if you plan on purchasing these mobile homes to place on the lots.

We don’t consider the higher fees on a deal or two as the “win.”
