I have not partnered with any of them bc I view partnerships as a last resort - just a personal preference.

Because this is the business we've built together, we enjoy working together, we each have roles that reduce the work load on the group and personally I like that the risk is spread out.

Personally I’d stick with SFR or at 4 units or less for preferred financing and to reduce risk of the exchange failing.

I saw someone post in a group who I think is a schmuck brag about hitting a specific figure for their training and I just shook my head - like wow - this person is a great sales person and just steals the same lines from the business book about working hard and throwing out some slick slogans - but man oh man - when real estate gets hard people move to being a guru - just look at FB ads right now - many are not funds anymore but how to raise money, how to do X.

I speak with the tenants personally and they are usually happy to tell me all the issues.

Quote from @Jamie Banks: I have a MTR co-hosting business so part of our inventory are the ones that I personally own or manage through my business.

They’re less restrictive since they don’t rely on personal income or DTI, making them a great fit for BRRRR.

Quote from @Bruce Woodruff: Quote from @Kevin Sobilo: Also, a contractor may not be the best person to develop your scope of work! 

We are hoping to list quietly and with a very specific person for these reasons.

There's no right or wrong way to do this, just varying levels of risk and reward and YOU need to understand what they are for whatever strategy you choose.
