I'd like thoughts on structuring a partnering arrangement with a 2nd person who has expressed interest in working with me. 

I expressed my empathy for him and advised him to take his paperwork to the utility company and talk to them in person.

See "ya'll" (Texas Expression) there!

@Morris Lucas express mail can be used to get the owner to sign.

Others had expressed interest so with earlier notice I'm hoping we can continue these every second Tuesday of the month.

I enjoy seeing the expression on people's faces when done that's the most hype I get.

Your time here will be well spent.Since you expressed an interest in wholesaling, I added the below links on this niche for your review, while waiting for local connections to wholesalers in your area.https://www.biggerpockets.com/renewsblog/2015/01/31/ultimate-beginners-guide-real-estate-wholesaling-2/ (Ultimate beginners guide to wholesaling)https://www.biggerpockets.com/renewsblog/2014/10/09/getting-started-real-estate-wholesaler/ (BP Podcast 091 Wholesaling)https://www.biggerpockets.com/renewsblog/2013/10/31/wholesaling-podcast-mike-nelson/ (BP Podcast 042 - wholesaling)Best of luck!

Of course you can call her and text her.You can not enter the rental unit without either the tenants expressed permission to do so or having served a legal notice to enter.

But this idea is good only if it's your first expression of attention.

I used Real Estate Express but used continuing ed express for the pre test and liked them a lot more.
