I'm venturing more into short term rehab and that's the focus moving forward.

They say timing is everything, for me this is the right time to venture into investing.

Good luck on your new ventures! 

I am looking for advice on setting up a partnership agreement for a real estate venture with the main goal of building a portfolio of buy and hold single family homes (and eventually small apartments).

If not, and 250 K is what you have assigned out of your net value for RE- then don't put it all into 1 venture.

I am always looking for deals, joint ventures, or to lend a helping hand!

If I were looking to flip in Boise right now, I might be looking in the West End of downtown,the Bench Depot area, or even the North End if budget allows (caveat:  I wouldn't venture into the North End unless you truly know old homes and City of Boise code)   Because comps vary wildly in each of these areas though...it is critical you study the market street by street.  

Buying on terms and renting out would be a great way to get startedI coach 1 on 1 but brand-new people is really hardI think your best bet is to hang out at REIA's, get licensed, do joint ventures with people, and learn from experienced peopleGood luck

I'm using this house to get our feet wet before venturing further (out of State or Central Valley) for cash flowing properties.
