I've found the people who want to charge for their time and "mentorship" typically need the money because they are struggling- maybe not the best person to take financial advice from. 

@Megan Boyle I personally love investing in RI.

Just guessing the numbers.If we put down $400,000 together with an interest rate of 7% (it could be higher), then im guessing the monthly mortgage with insurance and tax would be around $3,886.If each unit rents for $1,500/month: Total Monthly Rental Income: 1 , 500 × 4 = 1,500×4=6,000 Monthly Expenses: Mortgage (PITI): $3,886 Maintenance/Repairs: $500 Property Management: $600 (10% of rent) Vacancy Reserve: $300 (5% of rent) Total Monthly Expenses: 3,886+500 + 600 +300 = $5,286 Monthly Cash Flow: 6,000−5,286 = $714We split the profit in half so each person takes $357 a month..How much should we be profiting from this in order to make it attractive to jump in? 

None of which I never actually met in person. 

He's a terrible person.

Any decent lender will want to dig into your business and personal background and will look at the lifetime value of the relationship, not just a one-off deal.You're going to have to jump through hoops, too, like lockboxes or even notification-based factoring for all of your revenue/leases.

Private lenders generally have fewer restrictions, a faster process, and can structure loans based on the property’s value rather than just personal income. 

If I can be a help in any way let me know as I believe it's easier for a team or even 2 people to acquire goals than 1 person alone sometimes it takes the village.

Hi @Chad MartinI am a skier and am interested in the idea of buying on/in mountain towns for personal use and short term rental.

Personally, I've been in the mobile home investing niche since 2007.
