@Zach Howard I am working on a how-to book on Creative Financing now (I am the author of BP's book on Mid Term Rentals) because when I was teaching myself I was frustrated at the lack of clear instruction.

I don't understand if I count since I'm living in the property or if it's only the tenants that count towards the limit of individuals that are unrelated living together.

@Kyle Kulhanek Are you planning to transfer the property into an LLC owned by both individuals on title? 

Without giving the individual's name, even though once it is filed it is public information, could you post the specifics they are alleging or the case number?

I'm seeking to be in an environment with like minded individuals to learn and network to grow my portfolio and eventually network to collaborate on larger deals once I have a better understanding of the commercial side. 

Many lenders won't allow you to sell or refinance the properties individually if you have these on a blanket mortgage.

He doesn’t teach you anything that can’t be found on this site.  

When you can access the opportunities first, you can qualify the lead first, analyse and find the best deals first, reach out and build rapport first , offer your solution first (rather than having your offer thrown on a pile of others the individual has already been given) and so on.

Well, of course it depends on the individual circumstances, the amount of time comitted and the capital available.

It is not very difficult or complicated to evaluate commercial real estate, there are plenty of good books available that can teach you how, textbooks, online courses, community college classes, even excellent youtube videos etc, and it is actually quite enjoyable in the process to learn.
