@Daniel Townsend A lot of your structuring also depends on the involvement of the partners. For instance, early on in my investing I partnered with a guy on several rentals and contributed $0 by being the boots on the ground (I provided the off-market searches for property, project and property management, and all day-to-day tasks to keep up the property). It was to the advantage of us both because when I jumped into this after college, I had very little in terms of liquid cash, but a lot to offer in terms of time, effort, and market knowledge. My partner was flushed with cash but was not real estate savvy and was running a compound manufacturing business full-time. It helps looking at both sides, analyzing the numbers and when you come up with something, put the shoe on the other foot and ask if you would go for this if you were in that persons position. It's at least a good place to start. But partnering on rentals is how I've been able to finance my own deals now. Good luck!
