Ignore the large institutions.I’ve at least had luck engaging with loan officers who at least can point you to the right lenders.Good luck!

And how would engaged this, just ask my lender to kindly consider me for an appraisal waiver? 

.$165,000 equity (my group loans the equity to the deal at 10% -- $150,000 + 10%; assumes I borrow all the equity at 6-10% as well so likely no spread to me)= $165,000 gross profit45% ($74,250) to builder (he gets paid on profits, no fees, but does not contribute equity)25% ($45,375) to my friend the developer (he brought the deal, already has the architect engaged and plans almost complete, orchestrates the process, brings the team/expertise to the table)25% ($45,375) to me (bring the equity, take out the loan, assists on process, etc)The goal is for me to learn as much as I can on this deal and to hopefully be able to form a partnership with the developer going forward where we are doing several deals a year and both getting paid on all of them.

Pinnacle seems to be mimicking a lot of similar steps that 12DailyPro engaged with investors.

First, all you have done so far is engage in a sudden bizarre outburst and gratuitous bragging without backing it up with any facts or suggestions.

A realtor has the specialized knowledge on the appreciation and understanding of the whole gamut of inspections, disclosures, and other reports generated during the process and such cannot be said for those who do not play the same role.Without any intention of belittling a seller, buyer or investor who is inclined to do the transaction on his or her own, I believe that the sale or investing process is fraught with technical and legal difficulties that could be avoided by the engagement of a knowledgeable real estate agents who will be a shining light on the whole process.  

April A. is the most knowledgeable one I know of, and he's down in Southern California, so you might want to engage him to help you do the exchange.

In connection with the scheme, Zaleski represented himself as a person involved in the purchase and improvement of real estate for profit and the coordinator of a group of investors engaged in that activity.

But I don't engage with those situations anymore.

@James Woodrich to be clear, just engaging with the premise...like Ben L. said I don't think the metric makes much sense, and in the way we have all seen it used commonly on the site, awfully, awfully thin and likely to fail.
