Find a partner that lacks what you offer and create a win/win.

I know that LH’s get a bad reputation, but with the leasehold till 2050, that’s 25 years of possible excellent cash flow, It’s attractive to me to invest in from that perspective alone. 

Structure everything as a win/win- if you make more money, the contractors make more money. 

The Almanack of Naval Ravikant (it's free as well)@Will Gaston sent me a copy and it was excellent

In Cleveland if you are Out Of State Investor there is no winning. 

The key factor is the follow-up capabilities, so pick one that excels in that area.

Just excellent. 

The winning bid was $70,250 plus 10% buyers fee so $77,275.

Working with our Rockstar agent, Bill Beck, we identified an excellent lakeside investment property near Silver Dollar City and other key Branson attractions that should (eventually) generate a 50% COC return (we have a lot of learning to do - so I'm not banking on that high of a return in the first few years).

I never missed a single payment and they made $50,000 in interest off of me over the last year so instead of foreclosing on me recking my credit for the next 7 years and them being forced to sell a house for less than what I still owe, it seems like a great win-win option but I was shot down over and over because the appraisal was just too low.
