Our plan is to use his lines of credit for BRRR's, rehabs and other deals.I feel limited because of my credit situation, which is improving gradually, and all I really have to leverage is the equity in my rental.Our REI goals are parallel:  buy and hold, rehab and wholesale along the way.In a nutshell, he has money and sees value in investing in my city.
