You have to find the right one by asking the right questions and getting references.  

When you say building a stable tenant base, that's referring to long term tenants that rent for 3-5 years vs maybe a 6 month or 1 year rental? 

I am looking to connect with sober living operators who can provide references and proof of running a successful sober living business in Los Angeles County, California.

Out of state owner looking to sell home in Mesquite, TX (near corner of Ripplewood Dr. and Salerno Dr. for reference) for higher price through creative finance. 

Are you referring to a community of LP investors on BP or somewhere else like Facebook groups ? 

Partner referred it to me, and we negotiated directly with the sellers How did you finance this deal?

My primary people have been good at referring others to me generally - like when my handyman was on vacation, he referred me another handyman when I had a need that had to be tended to within a few days5.

Consider getting references from past investors with the GP.Return - 11%.

This is often referred to as a "seller carryback" for the second portion.

Then asked if I had friends to refer him to if I wasn't interested...yeah right send my friends to a scammer.
