So as you pass up through the stages of RE success your requirements grow.

Makes sense, Im sure at that stage I would need to learn the rules and regulations.

I am reluctant to contact an attorney since it's just a term project at this stage.

I recommend completing the initial reading/research phase, then jumping in to avoid getting stuck in the planning stages ("analysis paralysis").

Or anything in the planning stages?

Could you use part of the living room to stage a dining area?

A landlord who was doing his first couple flips and hired us to stage and list his properties.In each case, the person was willing to provide something I wanted/needed (without expectation that i would mentor them), and I was happy to return the favor.

Think about it, once the transaction fails, their marketing has to start all the way back to Stage 1.

Can someone offer me the early stage process on rehabbing a charred home?

I think they are the most relevant and they are an actual registered non-profit so there aren't any coaching programs or monthly seminars by the speakers on stage, unlike most of the clubs mentioned above.
