Choosing A New Partner!

[Richi Brown]

Hello All, 

I am new to investing and real estate as a whole. I wanted to ask the question and see what strategies and tactics you all took when screening/looking for potential partners? I am a firm believer in teaming up and the mindset of "50% of a deal is better than 100% of no deal". I know to look for people you can trust, people who strengths are your weaknesses (vice versa) and someone who will help carry the load instead of putting it all on you. But is there any other key things I am missing, and how do you personally go about weeding the wrong people out from this list? Especially while meeting so many different people on a platform like BP? 

Any input is appreciated!
