Is there any real estate meetings or organizations near Orlando, FL or Brevard County that I could be involved with?

But, as mentioned, check out first time home buyer programs, often the credit side isn't as strict, might be 3% down, some allow non-profit organizations to assist you, sounds like a better way to go in a hot market, you may not have to settle for a pig that can't be financed as you might under seller financing.

I'd just advise you to remember that you are running a business and not a non-profit charity so you need to make sure that every deal is bringing a profit.

i tried that earlier this year. i set up a house for disabled thinking i had a few case managers lined up ready to fill the house. i was wrong. i had an amazing house for them and they vanished making excuses that they had no cases for me (before that they were "flooded" with cases)then i started calling organizations/facilities.... they sounded like i was going crazy asking them for disabled people to rent this house.mind boggling!

I am working on creating a rough spreadsheet where I will be able to organize and calculate different properties to find out if they would be a good fit to further research.

See following for rules on this.https://www.irs.gov/charities-non-profits/unrelated-business-income-tax

Although the organization offering the investments may do the tracking to not allow you to over invest, so that be be the safeguard.

When I was a new, I really appreciated someone else taking care of organizing escrow, etc. 

First off i just want to say hello to the BiggerPockets community and I'm excited to be apart of this great organization!  

Can I start a non profit or for profit and apply for a grant to help rehab homes in my community?
