The flip is still a 4-6month plan and doesn't seem to fit your objective of an increase in monthly income, without being done on a larger scale.If you/she has the means to get a mortgage on a 3+unit multifamily it may be the way to go.

This worked out great and I've been lucky enough to acquire a couple more properties, but at much higher costs due to the types of loans   While my limited experience is only in rental properties, I'm eager to learn more about flipping, creative financing and tips for being more organized in my investment ventures.  

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..

@Robert Bartman Hi Robert, might I start by asking what is your objective with this property?

I look forward to meeting new people on here and see what the future holds for me in Real Estate.Goals and Issues:So far I been looking into getting into "Buy And Hold" property's for multi-family houses and I want this to be my main focus, but like many other investors mention before, "I get distracted by the shining objects" and that perfectly describes my dilemma here.

My main objective to selling training was to build a business network.  

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 don't want to create objections for myself when I market.

They do this so they can maintain control over who is able to purchase there (it is a christian based organization).
