New to this side of the game

[Randall S Rhyne]

Hey all - hope everyone is doing well!  I'm new-ish to this; I have a business partner with whom I have 3 properties, and are closing on a fourth in a few weeks.  I have been the money guy in the past but we decided to pause on anymore purchases after this 4th one.  

I'm in Wilmington, NC and it's growing fast; I want to get into about 4 properties here with a combined cash flow in the 800- 1200 range. I'm not married to a particular type of investment (SFR/MFR) but I would love to get into some notes. That all being said, I am reading as much as I can as fast as I can...my ultimate goal is to figure out how, in practice, to use leverage for best and highest use to expand my personal holdings...

Anyone else in ILM and looking for a partner to explore deals with?
