It's essential for me to acquire these skills as I navigate potential roles in the real estate industry.If you have any insights, recommendations, or perhaps know of specific training programs or resources for learning Yardi, I would greatly appreciate your guidance.

Is that a viable strategy or do you think it's still best for me to "agent up" too and have them do the negotiating?

None were a match for me personally and many were not a strategy I wanted or too speculative (such as opportunistic strategy which is the riskiest strategy or investing in tertiary markets which also tend to be the first to go belly up when there is trouble etc).You probably actually want to look at your operating agreement to see what rights you have to books and records, etc. 

Also any advice for me is appreciated (save up more, focus on business instead, etc)Any more info you need comment below!

You can talk to the bank about a loan; however, my bet is they will want some form of contract and scope of work and will only pay him at set milestones.
