This can provide access to opportunities that may be beyond an individual budget.Before diving into any real estate investment, conduct thorough due diligence, consider your risk tolerance, and, if needed, consult with a real estate professional or financial advisor.

@Hayden ClarkChoosing the right real estate strategy requires careful consideration of your financial goals, risk tolerance, and lifestyle preferences.

The reason I say YOUR numbers is because everyone of us as a different risk tolerance, different returns requirements and different situations that will cause us to evaluate a property differently. 

Conclusion: The choice between solo investing and forming a partnership for real estate investment purposes really depends on individual preferences, experience, risk tolerance, and access to resources.

Using hard money will provide more leverage, but it comes with more risks, so it only makes sense if you have a higher risk tolerance.2 & 3.

It is a matter of risk tolerance.

Also I am still young in my investing career(only 4 properties so far) so my risk tolerance may be different than a more experienced investor.

@Michael Figueroa Like mentioned, comes down to role and risk tolerance. 

It really depends on what the lender's risk tolerance is.  

My point is- good deals are relative to the market and the buyer's risk tolerance.
