If you are raising capital with the intent to loan it out, stand in the middle of the room, look to your left, that is the regulations around raising capital and then look to your right, that is the regulations around lending money.How to raise capital in compliance with SEC/FINRA is a whole set of discussion on their own.

Great to hear people share wonderful intentions.

Start with  a letter of intent then let them fashion a final binding contract.If the attorney thinks your skimming her clients equity that's another issue.

@Andrew Challenger if you need a contract let me know and Ill email it to you

Their intent is not necessarily to make you a 'casual' flipper.

You must have the intent to hold for rental or investment (vs. held for sale) if you want to qualify for 1031 Exchange treatment.

Not my intent.

A bank has nothing to do with you obtaining other financing, but fishing for money in this manner can become predatory dealing quickly even when you don't have any ill intentions.

However I have no intention of purchasing myself, but I do have a buyer in mind.

It's when the agent ventures into the wholesaling, "creative" investing/assigning, etc. where the lines can get blurred between agent/investor, a potential agency relationship with sellers/buyers where agent has no intention of acting as an "agent".
