I find that asking those questions (in bold), I get higher quality/deeper answers.

Hi all,    I have a friend / private money person who is going to lend me money to buy a property. 

I personally would use Shane Flipping- Flipping Custom Homes. 

Personally, I'd be very conservative in my revenue projections on something like this just in case this trend continues. 

why no MLS  agents may have done a bunch of your homework up front.. just offer what makes sense to you.. me personally I would start with  the zoning maps and only look at props zoned for the size you want to create.. then work backwards.. no sense chasing deals without knowing the zoning up front.

You need to compare your cost of living, and overall personal cashflow each money with your current situation vs. this potential new acquisition.

In general, I would say it’s not worth joining, is a huge waste of money, and is overall extremely poor quality.

I’m not a greedy person in the least bit.

Here are my top picks: (Disclaimer: I personally struggle at using these platforms as often as I should whether it's for real estate or for my auto reconditioning business)Facebook: Great for joining investor groups, keeping connections up to date.LinkedIn: Ideal for networking with other professionals and establishing yourself as an industry expert.Instagram: Perfect for showcasing properties through high-quality photos, videos, and virtual tours.YouTube: Powerful for posting property tours and educational content to attract a wide audience.Twitter: Excellent for sharing real-time updates and engaging in industry discussions.Which social media platforms have you found most helpful for your real estate business? 

Another thing to consider is that if it was your personal residence, you may be able to exclude some capital gain income if you sell it within a certain amount of time.Best of luck.
