There's the loophle needed to carry on with house scalping. Create and level a FC, buy a plot, claim you're charging for time/gil invested into the company.
Gathering others to help level it? I did it alone, more or less. I was given the empty FC by a friend at rank 6 and leveled it the rest of the way myself, gathered the points to buy flight credits myself, on my own. I'm still doing it alone. Making airship pieces alone, only asking for randos/online friends in other FCs to stand in the workshop with me when needed. But I'm doing it for me, not to sell for a profit. I would have a real FC if I could get myself out there and uh, y'know, think of something that hasn't been done before or isn't overdone. I managed to get a small plot for this fc for the price of a medium plot, which is GENEROUS right now, from a nice couple of guys who moved on to bigger and better plots.
EDIT: And people have leveled FCs to rank 6 only to sell the FC themselves.. you know why. LOL. It's VERY easy to level an FC alone. Run experts, roll on everything, roll greed, hand in for points. Before you know it, it's leveled and has points. Spend the points on housing items!
