There may be a way to work it out if that's what you want, but the first step is to address the issue with the tenant and point out the violation.

What you can try to address is SET.

My main concern is how can we achieve our goal in a timely manner while being the most tax efficient?

We have investors who buy based on an address in Google, and they can get an idea of a property and what is around it by looking at the pictures.

As to keep track of accounts you land him, you can word a document such that if he purchases a property within a year of the last mailing sent to an address you will be owed a fixed fee for each property.

This should also cover the exit strategy.One way to address that last part is to have in the agreement that if one partner wants to buy out the other partner, the buying partner must make an offer to the seller AND must be willing to accept that offer if the other partner reverses the deal.Example: Steve, you and I partner up and 5 years later I want to buy you out.

Do you think a website would make finding/dealing with multiple bird dogs make it more efficient?

My name is Gabriel Trieu and I would like to $BUY$ your property at (address).

Russ Whitney was better, though I realize he has a mixed rep and track record.The breakout sessions were fantastic, as was Del's address.

Many listing explicitly say do not walk around property do not park there do not talk to tenants or neighbors.So the only info is based on address, country information as far as age, number of units, sq ft etc, and asking the agents.
