All groups have mentioned, wanting to try our hand at flipping independently, and I thought why not do it together. 

Being that rates are up it's another way to offer exatly what you mentioned; the chance to own for a couple hundred bucks more than renting.Thoughts?

That's 7k loan.So this is overall costing me 577k to purchase instead of 600k.My question is where do I get a loan like the one I mentioned above.

Mention which properties they would consider selling.

If you see at least a few zoned in the designations you mentioned above, that's potentially a good sign that you can get support from the local Alderman's office, and approval by the ZBA (zoning board of appeals), to rezone.

You didn't mention where you are operating, but depending on average home prices, I think you'll be ok.For instance if we're talkin $500k homes, and if you will get a 2.5% commission, split that 50/50 with your Broker, you will end up with $6,250 per sale, right?

He mentioned that he’s a "humble realtor" and that his wife is the "broker" who knows all the answers.

Quote from @Violet Cobb: Hey Michael S Brown, and everyone else who has mentioned me in a comment on here.

Funny you mention the whole GP / LP thing - I spoke to someone recently who claimed to have raised $10M+ for a fund and owned over 100 units.

This was also not mentioned until today.
