To me the only thing that is working now is partnering with people who have their own salaried teams.  

My biggest issue with it was a partner of the RAL academy came in on Day 3 and spent 45 minutes showing pictures of a deal he did in colorado.

I attended the RALA 3-day training in Phoenix and took a couple of online courses as well, and while I found these courses to be very valuable in helping get a clearer understanding of the space and what it might take to be successful, I eventually I found it most beneficial to bring in a partner/advisor who has built residential assisted living facilities here in Texas and has been running them successfully.

Me and my partner moved from Utah to Maryland for school recently and we have a townhouse that we are looking to rent. we are currently remodeling and changing a few things before renting. what are the first steps to change my primary to a rental I lived there for about two years.

My business partner and I are looking to get into a property with cabins, tents, and RV spots on it. 

My Canadian partners and I bought a Class B 144 unit in Houston, Texas for 77k/door and we’re actively looking for another similar deal.

Neal Bawa withdrew from the Buffalo project last night (only as a general partner) to accommodate a new partner.

Focusing on the best quality real estate will allow you secure more favorable financing terms, more likely to achieve favorable exits/refinances, more likely to attract the best capital partners.

Partner up with money partners and you be the operator.

There is so many posts about complete newbies wanting to partner or use someone else's money and I think that is far too risky.
