Start getting your capital working for you while learning along side that partner with the intent of moving into REI as a full-time gig. 

I think there are three primary reasons; they're not even aware it's a possibility (you'd be surprised how many people think apartments are restricted to institutional money), they're directing their resources elsewhere (i.e. a business, other investments they already know and do well with, a high income job, etc.) or they lack the necessary resources.To take deals down alone, people lack the know how, time, money, connections, drive, confidence or some combination.To invest alongside experts in a syndication, people lack the money.

Most more on the order of 90% than 50%.ABNB's P/E ratio is what changed (as did the entire market's with the sentiment shift towards huge P/E ratios), not their earnings.Their P/E ratio was 127 before, which is obviously insane and was going to adjust alongside all the other mega growth stocks.

I am currently looking to buy my first property along side my fiancé.

As noted, there are often many LLCs at work here: the property and investors, a separate on to act as GP, likely a third that is more of the "business side", if there is a JV involved, you might have a second level where property and borrowing entity are one, then the JV is a separate LLC or LP that brings in investors alongside the JV.And to clarify what Brock mentioned: you don't need your true partnership LLC setup prior to going under contract, but you 100% do want A LLC formed to enter contract.  

Don't know the full extent of that damage yet, I have an inspection happening today so I'll find out more then.The property is right alongside a railroad track also.

Added benefit if the person is willing to look at potential properties along side me to give a general range estimate.
