Great posts @Blaine Johnson Congrats on getting owner financing on the table.

"Maybe" might cut it for you, but for the client, that is an unacceptable risk.A licensed realtor brings a lot to the table in terms of licensing, insurance and time.  

I think that in areas where there are many investors then the group has the potential to be more of an organic type of thing, free of rules which may dictate mixtures and types.On the flip side, in a small town environment, you probably are an added asset as long as you can bring anything relevant to the table, due to the size of the potential group.As far as mastermind is concerned..

I got repaid but I turned the tables on her.. once I figured out how full of #$%# she was I told her I had a property in escrow and needed to move 500k but she had to pay me back the 150k first .. well I got the 150k and never ever talked to her again..

You're getting into the big league and there is serious money on the table, so I suggest eating some humble pie (telling the owner you'll help him) and getting professional advice specifically for that project.    

The seller should get a fair price in correlation to what he brings to the table. 

Once the property is purchased under the LLC, does the the transfer of the LLC (not property title) occur at the closing table or is this done before the closing so the person purchasing it can have the title transferred under their name?

I want to organize and host big, fancy charity balls with $10,000 VIP tables & a red carpet where CEOs take pictures with the big check their companies donated to (insert NPO). 

I have sat through teaser presentations of the "We buy houses" type of seminars and they describe "sitting across the kitchen table with grandma", pretending to be interested in her life so she will "sell" you her house for pennies on the dollar.

My family and I are looking at purchasing a home in the mountains to live in full time for a year or so then use as a vacation rental.
