I heard the best thing to do is have a potential cash buyer check out the property as a "partner" however, I cannot propose my offer to any cash buyer if the property is not under a PSA.

I did 4 flips at that time, some of them were with partners, and some of them by myself.

Partner Driven saw Kipling St as an ideal opportunity for a rapid return with minimal holding.

My normal DSCR lending partners said no.

As a New York realtor with a background in construction and some investment experience (though I’m still growing in this area), my goal is to expand my knowledge and learn directly from those with expertise in this field.I am genuinely interested in developing my skills to become a highly valuable partner to investors.

Have dad invest as “silent” partner entitled to a return equal to the interest rate he wants to charge you.

Our partner lives in North Dakota, the STR is likely to be in Florida (I plan to shop after BPCon 2023) but we are planning for the LLC to be in CA due to their fee collection. 

With your engineering background maybe partnering with someone with building or other RE experience could be valuable.

The only way you can buy/build more than (4) units is if you partner with another veteran who has access to the VA loan and you both owner-occupy.

For example, I have a partner who lives in a single family home we own together.
