I'm excited to network with other members and hopefully we can build a great relationship in this venture together.

Wishing you all the best on your real estate venture!

I would prefer to start out working WITH an investor, ideally seasoned personnel, but a newbie in the game would be a great because I am hoping to start out doing joint ventures with other new investors.

In the one example on the site I glanced at there is an offer to Joint Venture on a mortgage in Oak Knoll Texas.  

Is there a way you could do some type of joint venture agreement where he keep 10% in and then he gets a % of the profits from the building and when he's paid in full his ownership percentage disappears?

Our RE rental income (and other side ventures) are managed in an LLC, which has been only me (no employees).  

Also, if the deal makes sense you could possibly to a joint venture with someone too.

Or you can joint venture with another active investor and use your $10k as helping pay for rehab or hard money costs depending on your market.I am sure many other people here on BP will have great advice for you. 

Excited about the venture.

@John Moore thanks for clearing that up. i am familiar with propane tanks as my mother is a small business owner in my city. and i did not know that about the difference in the ages of the homes and how they are set up in heating the home. i appreciate your feedback as i am venturing into your market to purchase a foreclosure. these nuggets are so helpful.
