If I put myself in the shoes of the outside partner/investor friend, I would be very concerned because: 1) unclear and/or potentially conflicting business plan, 2) even with clarity in the BRRRR business plan, unclear in the viability of pulling it off with these market conditions, 3) the chances of dispute seems very high, especially if you're going to live in. 4 years ago, I went through a  similar thought process when purchasing an investing property with mainly my family money, while considering an outside investor to rehab for higher STR ROI... 

Don't invest in a market if you can't find a quality PM!

It's very difficult to find off-market deals with predictable upside opportunity.  

I am right down the way, located in College Station / Bryan market.

There is a flaw in the business model and thier internal processes need a lot of work.First the good,Yes, I got paid every month.Nomad found me good renters.Next the badDue to needing to make the guaranteed rent they rented my unit below market valueIn communicating with Nomad they were disorganized, often sending conflicting messages and not alignedNomad offered to find me a repair company, that compnany charged $400 for a $25 dollar part and I was stuck with Nomad saying "not their problem" and the vendor saying Nomad was the client not me.Nomad was horrible to my renters as their property management term ended.

@David Torreggiani Dallas and Austin markets here!

The "best market" is less about the market per se and more about the deal you're able to find in my opinion.
