Everything I recommend scales with your portfolio, so I will explain the big picture approach so you can see the vision. 

By this, we mean having a clear vision of what you intend to do with the property.

Congrats finding a partner who shares your enthusiasm and vision.

For example - let's saying your company is paying you $100,000/year in salary, they may offer you $50/hr saying it comes to $100k (50 weeks x 40 hours) but as you can see that's a raw deal because your loaded cost of health, vision, dental benefits are not baked in, neither is your 401k.

By this, we mean having a clear vision of what you intend to do with the property.

Introduce yourself and tell them your vision.

Have a great plan, good vision, be able to communicate it to a lender and you should be good to go.

Deep breath, planning, and long-term vision will help guide you.

Hopefully your post will give some who need it a complete vision. 

. - keep executing action, even though others might shame, criticize you because their opinion is different vision and belief and math..- do not give up your power to another..- dont take shortcuts to save a dollar and lose $1000 doing so....- be open to teaming, partnering, but have contract, lawyer, - fail small and little forward.......rather than some massive whipeout..
