We are a General Partner in this Syndication.

I would keep detailed records of my deals to include photos that I could use later when I am approaching a potential funding partner.

From my experience, you can use that savings to house hack with an FHA loan, invest in a turnkey property in a more affordable market, or even partner with others to expand your purchasing power.

It was easy money (he had a partner so my buddy ended up with 50%).  

I have seen great properties coming out with a great rental rate, but you would know those move quickly so being partner with someone local in DFW is always a good idea.

I want a real estate agent with a hustler's mentality, who knows the neighborhoods, studies appreciation and deal analysis already, understands short-term rentals, and is potentially looking to be a scalable partner with me.

I think it might be wise to get a partner for your first deal. 

We don't allow any "deal-making" in the forums, which includes advertising your services or properties, looking for partners, etc.

Analyze the WHY behind your current investors reasoning for not partnering up with you.

Welcome and happy to share some strategies in Greater Boston area that might work for you and your partner.
