I am going to sit down with a potential investor (relative) about lending me some money to assist with a down payment on a great property I have in the pipeline.Looking for tips to help the conversation go smooth ?

I would love to hear any tips anyone has for me moving forward, and of course, if you are in the area I would love to network!

I'm not sure who mentioned it above, but best-practices may be a better way to  put what you are asking, but I highly doubt you will find any agreement on what's needed and most would say the best practices are really tips for investors, not the companies.So many companies operate so differently and there is little incentive to change what they do or how they do it as long as the buying public is reacting to their offer.  

My only tip would be to find a local REIA meeting in your area and start attending.

I’d love to chat if anyone has any tips or ideas to being successful in this market!

I am looking for tips on how to keep the momentum going.

They are new, in good neighborhoods, in tip-top condition, etc. 

Any tips on how to fund these deals would be greatly appreciated!

Another tip I have learned is attending/listening to county zoning meetings.

@Kris Wong thanks for the tip, been meaning to checkout meetups.
