They do their own due diligence, have their own analysts, do their own modeling, create their own PPM, marketing materials, tour the property w/the operator to understand clearly the business plan, making suggestions on strategy, maintain the relationship with the investor base over the entire life cycle of the deal, creating reports, answering questions, managing distributions, K1s, etc. 

I definitely need to find a partner regardless of the help for getting this deal going because I've had a recent argument with the missus of the relationship and I'm pretty much alone on this adventure for FI....I've got time all day at work to listen to the info that I want to gain info and knowledge for helping anyone and everyone who wants to know more as long as the info is in audio format then I can learn it and assist or teach anyone else who wants that info.

In OKC the numbers are typically too tight to BRRR but I've been developing a relationship that looks like it might make it more doable on a bigger scale.

I'd like to keep and maintain the LLC and use the relationships it has already built with existing vendors....

As a first deal, remember that it is a journey and experience comes through transactions and relationships you form throughout your RE Career.One of my favorite quotes is that you either win or you learn. 

Keep the relationship as black & white as possible.

Any method is going to work better if you build a relationship with the lender before you even buy it.

This gives you a kind of immediate secondary relationship that might make it easier to start your "team."

The 1 in 50 times where this simple litmus test gets it wrong isn't worth the time suck represented by the other 49 times.Those that WILL drive to your office even though you previously didn't sense any motivation, it is probably worth your time to run a full CMA, offer them coffee, and start that relationship.

I would try to build a great relationship with a realtor.
