I joined this forum to connect with others, learn from those who’ve been in my shoes, and maybe even find people to partner with in the future.If you’ve got any tips, especially around raising capital or structuring your first deal, I’d love to hear them!

Quote from @Rodney Davis: Has anyone done a deal with this company, Strategic Investments Partners? 

Much more difficult to raise EQUITY capital through partners 3.

As I look to grow, I’m considering joining a coaching/mentorship program like Partner Driven or something similar.

Then look for a partner or partners to fill in the gaps.

That is me reading between the lines, and I would suggest partnering with someone who has the money.

One thing I really enjoy about what I do is I actually go out to all my markets spend time there and get to know the local areas etc.. thankfully the deals i did for this guy in SW WI I did as a capital partners so I owned them and did not have to foreclose or go through his probate etc..

I would look for investments with owner financing to skip past that requirement.Maybe you can partner with your parents on the first property?

Consultants, inspectors, and mentorsProperty managersAssistantsBookkeepers, accountants, and attorneysLandlords if you rent your office spaceYour business partners if you paid them (except if they were strictly lenders)Disclaimer about wholesalers: it is a controversial issue, with some of my colleagues claiming that wholesalers do not need 1099s.

I would love to open a joint account with my partner without forming an LLC.
