I tell my buyers if you buy and hold in San Francisco for long enough it likely will be beneficial.

I can't write my phone number in this post because BP moderators will take it down, but you're welcome to text first and we'll find a mutual time that works. 

That said, I'm not completely opposed to sharing ownership if it were mutually beneficial. 

I can promise you I am friends and have mutual respect from many investors within RADD.

Also, depending upon how aggressive you want to grow hiring a mentor/coach would also be beneficial.

Visiting the property in person is beneficial too, as it helps you understand the flow of the house and assess how well it can be marketed later on.For turnkey properties updated by previous owners who lived there can be a good buy.

Got one mutual on a development deal and one listing from it. 

Quote from @Jonathan Greene: Quote from @Russell Brazil: The email and acknowledgement serve as the mutually agreed release in writing.

Some states are mutual release, meaning the seller and buyer have to agree to the release of earnest money if the deal does not close.

We have been working to save up to purchase a primary residence (in Boston or the surrounding suburbs), however, since Massachusetts is currently one of the most expensive housing markets in the country, I’m wondering if it would be more beneficial to purchase my first investment property (out-of-state) first (instead of waiting for home prices to hopefully drop a little in Mass).2.
