Feel free to ask if you need help evaluating specific deals.

We have created work instructions for every step of the process so we can maintain consistency in how we evaluate properties, communicate with tenants, market our properties, handle rent increases, manage property turnover, etc..... 

Your wish list is more like a $350k property in Lakewood, Cleveland Heights, University Heights,Shaker Heights, et al.It's time to re-evaluate what is most important, and then work backwards to figure out the locations where you can achieve the desired result. 

V.G Jason merely pointed out what you are providing to the hypothetical partnership  can easily be performed through  contracted services with proper vetting and without having to give up 50% of the upside.

You can easily look at states like Indiana or Ohio and find a duplex for $200K or under and cash flow the same per door. 

Any tips or tools for evaluating the local market would be greatly appreciated.

There are HELOANS - at that juncture, your best bet is to evaluate what is called the blended rate and compare that to an entire new first lien (cash out).

I love the PDF you created, easily digestible with great information.

I could easily see you spending more than you save if you try it with a tiny house. 

Not talking about luxury high rises with high quality finishes - that will easily more than double or even triple that number.
