I did have multiple conversations with him, and feel like he is a good source for investments and has been working hard to know everything about investment properties and will be a great resource.

I have been shopping for those connectors, and this conversation is leading me to offer it as an amenity. 

We are not allowed to do garage conversions but we have a 2nd living room. 

I know people who did this so they could empty the building for condo conversions.

This plot of Land could be considered "in town" in local conversations. 

You start having conversations and building an investor list long before you need the money.  

Also have that conversation with the next tenant when you sign. 

Best thing to do which most of them do not do is have a conversation about your goals and current income and assets.Getting your credit pulled 3-5 times can just hurt you in the long run if the lender has limited programs or extreme overlays.

Loans are a hedge against lawsuit risk, if I understood this conversation I had correctly (its been a while).

I believe this is where the focus of the conversation should be....who exactly is the GP and what is their true background and level of experience.
