The answer most people here will tell you is no you can't, but in my experience locally, you can do a full gut medium rental or starter home retail for around $30/sf.

So for a starter like me after losing everything I had in my previous business (please read my profile), what is your suggestion?

But for starters, dont put all your eggs in one investment basket :).Best of Luck!

It would be a nice starter unit.  

I will attend some meetups and REI events for starters.

For starters, you have the free informative forums to read and learn about real estate.

I also included in this package some starter supplies like dishwashing detergent, hand sanitizer, toilet paper, paper towels, etc.

For starters, BP offers free online videos and educational courses for you to watch and learn from.

As a new starter (not even newbie).

It might also need partner approval and the partners might have a ROFR to have first dibs buying the interest at a set price etc.The fact you want to buy the partners share but get a lender involved is likely a non-starter for the other partners.
