I am open to learning from experienced individuals, whether through phone calls or Zoom meetings, to deepen my knowledge in this area.

I was told the investor pays to lease out the entire flat for 6-12 months and then sub-leases the individual rooms for a profit.

I'm looking to connect with other individuals who are putting their money to work via short term lends.

The individual agents/teams within the brokerage are the ones that set out to establish a niche to work with investors.If you're looking for a broker primarily focused on working with investors, you may want to speak with commercial brokers and agents.

If duties were merely split between operations, capital raising and deal sourcing based on individuals strength and to spread responsibilities, I would be more understanding but that's not the new age model.

Not many would risk everything they own if that was a requirement of investing in a business. if you’re referring to FRAUD”, then the individual committing said fraud can be sued individually, and  can not claim remote entity protection since they and not the entity, or they in addition to the entity are guilty of fraud.  

It also gives you the opportunity to be creative on how you want to vest/take Title (LLC vs Individual name). 

My current focus - what is the process once a family member/individual has passed and lets just say in a perfect world probate has been filed and the respective family is now thinking about selling the property.

We are both highly dedicated and ambitious individuals with a strong desire for personal and professional growth.

Not only would you benefit from having a partner's input on the deal, but you would also have an experienced individual to work alongside with as you navigate the project.It's also important to make sure you have identified your "team" ie; contractors / realtors / lenders / insurance agents / title company / etc.
