I'll need photos of beautifully lit, and well staged home.  

We are planning to list around 360k per house and will likely stage them, get a full set of photos, and a drone video that i'll be happy to share.

There's a nice template that helps you manage your investor friends as they move through different stages of investments. https://blog.trello.com/how-to-manage-a-killer-sal...

Ive never done blown in on exterior walls (though I do have one home from ~’46 that definitely has it) just because it settles and in the cold here it sucks, you get a ~20*C spread from top to bottom on a 9’ wall.I mentioned using it as a feature mainly because if you’re trying to maintain some of the character of the time period you may be able to make it work but if for example you’re turning this into a modern designed / staged home exposed planks may not really fit in.

I think there should be different stages to the meetups - newbie investors (0-5 deals done), intermediate (6-20 deals), then advanced (20+ deals)...or something like this.

If it does, make sure you have something in your agreement about who gets excess proceeds. 

As it sounds like many of you mentioned, there are some significant changes coming with the RIP stuff coming closer to the final stages.

For Example, excessive missed payments in the last year.

If the borrower isn't motivated, I'm not going to spend an excessive time to get a hold of them.

Apart from the what's already mentioned, I would suggest being extremely thorough in your underwriting (esp. at this stage of the cycle) and having a finance partner who can take care of all these things in detail.
