Taxes get passed through to tenants to the extent market forces allow.Property taxes also help insulate against rapid appreciation in a bubble environment like in 2004-08. 

We can rapidly acquire properites and continue to work towards larger deals together.

Just clearly write out what you are looking for.Just some things to be mindful of, the seller has to agree with your contingency for him to want to sign the contract and sell the property.An offer with more contingencies is less attractive than other offers.In my opinion, the trailing 12 months of income/expenses holds weight but not too much.

Good quality photos, a good professional real estate photographer is worth their weight in gold.

Personally GCs that are worth their weight in gold will be hard to find.

Without the deal itself, you have nothing so I place a lot of weighting the deal itself and who brought it/found it and negotiated it.

A good Realtor is worth their weight in gold, especially when it comes to shepherding a deal through for you. 

Cap rates are essentially the same thing as a weighted average cost of capital that you would earn about in a traditional finance class.

I now have a successful Insurance business that I own myself and it's growing at a rapid rate.

Im really looking for a financial partner or another partner to help share the weight.
