To avoid partnership issues, 50/50 is likely your best bet.

She's an agent that works in that area and does a ton of work with out-of-state investors.I think NW Indiana is a great bet, it provides solid cash flow and continues to have Chicagoans flood that way to avoid taxes. 

i think the gift basket may be more beneficial to real estate agents to get referrals and possibly to get new tenants. i bet that was nice, i wouldn't forget that either!

So starting with an agent probably won't work.Your best bet is to start networking, going to meetups, etc.  

And yet I would bet that any property that's not brand new or fairly new, will have some items that could fall into this category.

Your best bet is when you renew the lease to add in a clause regarding plumbing repairs related to negligence of the tenant.

You bet.

. - I believe (and will bet anyone who cares to oppose me) there are less than 1,000 people in this country who can claim $100K or more in assignment feels or similar wholesaling income for at least 3 years in a row. 

US Bank is your best bet.

If Newburgh sees valuation like Beacon did there still could be opportunity, however like I mentioned the people betting on this already did it years ago.
