Right now, my model for partnership really isn't a formal partnership...it's looking for those with cash (or cash like substances) that want to be cash partners but want to control their risk.My secret to partnership (not that big of a secret really) is to only form partnerships with others that can/will do either:1 - What I can't do2 - What I don't want to do, or the most important one,3 - What I shouldn't be doing (even if I can do it).

@Zachary Myers How hard is it to use those liquid leveling substances?

There is also a very real chance of violence when dealing with someone who is mentally unstable and abusing substances.

Many had histories of substance abuse and, unfortunately, ended up homeless after having run through the good graces of every family member.  

I figure once I get 2-3, I can take a HELOC or something of the same substance to continue my portfolio growth.

(Reference the economic substance doctrine of Section 7701(o) of the Internal Revenue Code.)

Not a lot of substance.

I don't know what the chemical makeup is of the primer advertised to allow tiling over tile, but I am hoping it is a self etching substance that dries with a tooth.  

The vinyl had a chalky type substance on it before.

It is a very toxic substance, that if removed improperly, can cause further health issues.
