But some (Dave Ramsey) people would rather have just a few paid off properties making just a little cash flow.

I'm not looking for partners, but rather people to collaborate with as I'm working to scale my business.  

Lenders will want to see the filed Articles of Organization, an Operating Agreement that you can get from your attorney or, if you're brave and it's just you on the LLC, some people use Legal Zoom or Law Depot.

I think you bring up a good point of considering offering higher returns to investors if I have to begin to search outside of my network.But my original question from the post still remains, where would you recommend I search for people interested in an opportunity like this? 

I have a couple of people that this has happened to, and you need to have it in writing and tied to the property to make it work. 

Plus, I’m not a “people person” and I know my weaknesses. 

And the split is whatever you decide on. 50/50 is what a lot of people usually do.

Quote from @Andrew Steffens: There are probably more experienced people on this type strategy who will hopefully chime in. 

It's a great way to talk through your plans and goals for real estate with people that actually understand! 

There is an incredible amount of points to consider when weighing the options on something like this and honestly, I don't recommend it to very many people at all ....even seasoned tradesmen and investors.
