Your a licensed R.E. agent, that is NOT a solo thing, it means your an extension of that broker, and anything you do in Real Estate has possible MAJOR implications from both the broker and or real estate regulatory boards. 

My main goal is to build good fundamental knowledge so any and all help is appreciated!

I have some basic knowledge about the subject.

I'd kick it to a triplex not duplex. build to rent will always be a good strategy. keep land costs under 10%, build less than $200 per sq ft stick frame, exit price you want a premium, work with someone knowledgeable.

We would like to create a partnership where we are 50/50 partners and he brings the cash and I bring the experience, knowledge, and contacts ect.

One time I had to use my knowledge and testing practices after a job, and that was because it was a HUD inspired low income grant job for a homeowner.

And yes, over leveraging a Subto and using "gator" lenders is not only bad practice, but it's going to lead to law suits.He is wrong on so many levels that I have posted extensively on it and it gets boring.

Wade is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to real estate and note investing.

There is a wealth of knowledge here and many people willing to help.

I’m looking forward to gaining more knowledge and receiving the right mentorship.
