I’d like to see a stimulus package that continues to assist those whose jobs are impacted by the disease, but continues to allow landlords the opportunity to manage their properties fairly & with autonomy.

A co borrower isn't a bad idea, but does take some of the autonomy out of owning the home, plus you have to find someone with good credit and income that would be willing to do so.

For that reason, I'm wary of partnerships because of all the potential complications, and at the end of the day I want to own my properties, that I have full autonomy over. 

If you want more autonomy, freedom to get more creative, and don't so much need the extra training, events, and culture/community of a large organization, any lesser-know brokerage no matter how small should do, in fact I sometimes wonder how things may have turned out had I signed on with a small broker who was "investor aware" shall we say, and could give more specific guidance on how to pursue business in my case where I only know a handful of people in Florida and so the traditional "just call people you know" advice is not going to cut it.Another thing to be aware of. 

This normally tugs at autonomy, mastery, and purpose alongside financial returns and making sure you nurture your relationships and health along the way.  

I will say one of the upsides to SFR versus multifamily is more autonomy with costs. 

Did my 4 years...and another 20 months on stop loss.) but realized that I wanted a higher level of autonomy, freedom, and income so I made a choice to get out, exceeded my Army pay within 18 months of getting out, and 9+ years later I couldn't be happier. 

There's a level of autonomy that is vital in more economic trying times.

However, if you prefer more autonomy and control over your business, going solo may be a better fit.

I'm especially curious if an LLC could be made for us both to pool money with our own autonomy, and then if I'm qualified enough with what I have on hand to get into appealing deals, could I pull money from that LLC to add value to the property and such?
