Getting a Partnership/mentor in my neighborhood

[Frank S.]

I know one of the ways to get a mentor is to provide value.

There is a couple in my neighborhood that's in their late '60s early '70s and they have a portfolio of about 10 properties. (Apartment buildings/ corner mom and pop shops).

I am not for certain about all of them, but the three that I've checked so far are in poor condition.

I would like to work something out with them where I can help fix up their property and share profits and selling them if they are considering selling off...

I've been saving money for a quad-Plex, But it's like every time I blink the price rises (Miami Market).

Does anyone have an idea how I can set up a structure a deal like this? Is there a industry term for this kind of deal?

I would like to approach them at least knowing how it could work...

Ideally, I learn something along the way of the process and make a little money..
