They always have a young entrepreneurs 3 day session where they teach non-adults about real estate investing..

Instead I pass on them and work exclusively with sellers who are motivated to get their problem property dealt with.

This will give you exclusive rights to the property.Side note: Make sure to include an assignment clause in the agreement so you do not have to worry about double closing (more fees), and you can just assign purchase and sale agreement to your investor.

I would assume there will be at least two adults per unit, and maybe children.  

Runner up is Hog N Homney, but can be louder, but food is the best in the cityBest Coffee House: Porcellino'sBest Place for Power Dinner to seal the deal: Folk's FollyBest place for a couple of adult beverages and apps: Close tie.

We could use someone to help us navigate occupancy laws (# of unrelated adults per dwelling, safety standards), as well as someone who can help us establish a solid business model. 

I have never run into this and exclusively use M2M, keep shopping.  

The bank is not allowing and exclusion for the appraisal either.    

I lived in Point Loma and Imperial Beach for most of my young adult life back in the 70's and 80's. 

This does not have to be an exclusive arrangement but the investors I wish to work with are serious and committed to finding the properties and willing to work with me for whatever it takes.
