Possibly partner with a group but would only do money lending or group in exchange for gaining knowledge of how to independently do things.

Knowledge and skillset is a big part of this.

I have personally known Dmitriy for over 15 years, and my company Marshall Reddick has referred him hundreds of clients since then that have all raved about his service, knowledge, and professionalism.

I'm a foreign national living in Ghana, and I have some knowledge about Real Estate, though I have little experience.I would love to have a partner who could go in with me, to put up any cash that might be needed. 

This includes all the tools and knowledge to help potential client’s make informed decisions on their new builds.Beyond guiding us through our investment journey, they also have always offered additional market and property analysis to give us a deeper understanding of the real estate landscape, helping you succeed with confidence.

I recommend you go visit a few times to network with local investors or find an investor friendly agent so you can gain local market knowledge, find off market deals and for things such as showings, picture taking or getting accurate comps.

Unless you're a very seasoned investors, the value in committing to the right agent should be in their vast local market knowledge, expertise of their lane, transactional experience and so on.

As a business, a judge will expect YOU to know all the laws and legal procedures.Make a minor mistake and the judge is unlikely to give you a break and may rule in the tenant's favor.The judge will see the tenant as a consumer and may give them a lot of leeway in court, even give them borderline legal advice.You are in over your head, not having the knowledge to properly handle this.

I never mind helping to provide the benefits of my experience and knowledge to someone.  

Asking to anyone who has experience, knowledge or connections in these southern texas markets, how has this or does it affect your real estate strategy and returns?
