Whatever you do, if you do partner, get a solid operating agreement signed that lays everything out. 

Always interested in something that can improve operations.

Then - once you're stabilized around 90% occupancy - re enter the markets to secure quotes from Freddie / Fannie / HUD / life companies / banks / credit unions.If it's an acquisition perhaps you put short term debt on the property, re-position the asset, then refinance after you're turned the operation around.

An attorney can create an operating agreement for you and give you ideas on what to include in your operating agreement.Loans will probably be personally guaranteed, so it doesn't matter if it's in an LLC.

Whether you’re trying to find off-market deals, build a pipeline of motivated sellers, or scale up your operations, there are some game-changing tools and methods that can seriously boost your efforts.I’m really passionate about helping others take their business to the next level, and I’ve seen firsthand how these approaches can deliver results.
