A partnership requires three things to be successful - Experience, Capital and Time.It looks like you have the capital and experience but maybe not the time.I have my doubts about this working if you have a friend who has weak credit and a limited cash flow.

The majority of our properties already have DSCR loans on them, are tenant occupied, have been owned for less than a year/have sizable capital gains, are in a high appreciation market, may take a while to sell at market price on the MLS.Are there any loan products, even ones with balloon payments, that would let us access some of our equity in our properties through refinance or a 2nd position loan.

This means you’ll pay short-term capital gains tax at your regular income tax rate.2.

I have around $100K in liquid capital and access to a $50K HELOC at 6% for the next 10 months before it transitions to a variable rate.I have a unique situation where I earn a living through sports betting, which limits my ability to show traditional income growth.

@Toby FellowsYou are correct, you need to ‘hang’ your license under a broker in order to practice real estate, and most brokerages require you to become a member of the National Association of Realtors as well.While you are preparing and taking your courses, contact several brokers and interview them to find out who might be a good fit.

This is a nation wide issue but just want to make sure you realize.

This is my primary residence and I've been there for 2y+ so there won't be Capital Gains on the sale.  

But is this possible with my current capital?

Specialty is in foreign national financing so I'd be happy to provide insight and run some numbers for you once you've narrowed down your options.

I know this is also a National issue, especially in land constricted markets.
