Hey @Raymond Krug welcome, glad to have you on board!

Keep in mind, that a transaction can take 3-6 months on average to get to the closing table.We have a personalized onboarding experience where we strategize with our agents in the beginning and throughout the experience to ensure they are exhausting their resources on the BiggerPockets platform.

Speak with one of the CPA's or tax prep experts in here to get an idea of the costs, and your time needed to come on board with their system.Talk to them also about what they are seeing as far as profit splits, and loss splits.

If you even for a moment think that you're going to get into self-managed landlording successfully with very little investment capital to spare and also with your spouse's not being 100% on board, you're deluded.

He was on board but he wants to come in more as partner than as money lender.

The issue that I ran into was that I have a girlfriend and 3 kids, and my girlfriend wasn't on board with sharing our house with other people.

The best you can probably do is a lease option unless the owner is on board with whatever your plans are.

@Matthew Fearneley Welcome on board!

I wanted to see if anyone had a plan or strategy of getting Realtors on board w/ locating properties for investors w/out having to chase after them and not spook at every bump......Oh and one who wants to leave there office/house and list properties.

That would usually not be do-able due to the number of individual owners to get on board, but with only one other owner it would certainly by more viable to do it.
