@Chris LinIf you were to include Equity growth (from appreciation and mortgage pay-down) what sort of returns would you have? 

Private equity firms seem to favor larger operations with scalable systems, while smaller mom-and-pop firms are often acquired by local players or regional operators looking to expand their footprint.If you’re looking for actionable intel, reaching out to brokers specializing in the sale of PM firms could provide useful leads.

If it is a larger bank/mortgage broker, you should be fine. 

Most of our newer investors approach 2-3 lenders to discuss loan options.Some lenders recommend making your financing inquiries within a 45-day time period to avoid larger drops in your credit scores.All the best!

Option 2: Take a larger portion out of Fund 2 about 30k to buy a duplex that's with in driving distance from the hospital.

There were only 2 times she was proactive with any sort of communication with me.

Some items might hold more weight than others, but you guys should sort through that together.You also might just do the partnership deal by deal - sometimes jumping into a partnership before you have officially worked together is NOT the best idea...

All messaging said "soon", when generally there would be some sort of notice or indication things would change. 

A good property manager can help with tenant screening, enforce lease terms, and handle evictions more efficiently if it comes to that.Require a Larger Security Deposit: Within the bounds of local regulations, a larger deposit can provide a cushion in case of damage or unpaid rent.Consider Rent Guarantee Insurance: Some companies offer insurance products that can cover lost rent in case of tenant default.

For example, I invest in Indianapolis and there's not many 3+ bedrooms with 2+ bathroom MTRs so if I was looking to cohost I would go after a larger property to target the undersupplied market.
