I am a disciplined and passionate individual who would love the opportunity to learn more about the real estate industry.I grew up watching my dad lose his butt in the 08 crash.

@Bill WilliamsNew Mexico is one of about 9 states that has a Community Property right between married couples, which includes ( as I understand it), as stated previously, the home acquired prior to marriage belongs to the individual, not both of you; hence she would have the freedom to sell or mortgage that home anytime, without your consent involved.Any income earned from such a separate property belongs to the individual, but if you choose to share bank accounts and 'commingle' funds, and the house is sold, those proceeds placed into a joint account become community i.e. both of your funds.Community property is acquired by either spouse during marriage, and selling or  encumbrance requires both of your signatures.  

Those individuals will prefer a lower density say 2-3 unit building with a backyard and garage.

I've seen individuals jump right into investing by working with a mentor and essentially learning on the job.

I have found most are willing to work out some sort of deal, after all we are all just business minded individuals playing in the real estate space.

My idea is that the 5 of us would save individually and all pool our cash into a sizable deposit.

They won't be local to you but with Skype and scanners these days, it is more important you get an expert in real estate and someone you can call day or night with questions and who will work with you to create the best tax benefit for your individual situation.  

I am looking for serious individuals who want to partner together and look for opportunities for the BOTH OF US to succeed in the real estate business.

I've asked many times for proof of financing or funds prior to showing properties if I do not know the individual and I have had rude people hang up on me.

I like the idea that each room can be individually controlled to maximize comfort and efficiency.
