If staying in the deal isn’t ideal for you, an equity buyout by your partner or another investor could be the simplest path.

No active projects yet, but I’m gearing up to dive into multifamily properties, ideally 16+ units, with a focus on creative financing and NOI optimization.

I also recommend a bank that has local branch that you can go into vs having it 100% online.

It will be easy for you to check if they paid on time, as you can check instantly online.  

I’d love to hear about the crime rates or any other issues (which we cannot guess from the online stats), and how easy or hard it is to find reliable tenants and property management companies.

I just got into wholesaling for more financial freedom and I am looking for a mentor to jv my first couple of deals with I see a lot of gurus online but i am not looking to pay for a course without any hands-on experience 

Unfortunately, while all the online places area great sources of information, you are much less likely to take action, or find someone to shadow, when online in a forum. 

For our second STR, we are currently researching Sherman, potentially / ideally, a less expensive duplex that we could rennovate and self manage from Dallas with workers coming to the area in mind. 

I would hesitate to say 1-2 years to rotate out but closer to 5 years, and ideally I'd try to get the downpayment higher to at least 10%.I understand your areas though-- they're expensive.

Since the last time I was online, I have grown the investing to fix and flipping and a portfolio of 4 properties that are producing passive income.
