Soon it will be 22-30 depending on how large my next acquisition is.I ended up purchasing a10 unit in Fort Lauderdale, but have been busy so I haven't updated this.I'm looking to connect with people who want to help learn by doing some work and small projects and checking in on my property.

On-going project

Within 2-3 years they refinance, returning my principal, though I continue to hold equity in the project.

They then have another realization that “sweat equity” is actually hard and requires tools, time, and a know-how in order to do the job right.When you’re under contract you’ll come up with a scope of work and budget, submit it for approval to the lender, and you’ll be able to make draws once you’ve closed and started the project.

@Chanoch Moller, If your mentor is a real estate investor, you should talk to him about creating a Joint Venture so that he can advise you in your first few projects.

You inject 35% /cash into the project & the lender will finance 65% LTC, set a maximum purchase price, pick a specific location, and property type. 

If you are dealing in retail or larger commercial projects, a NY attorney should be able to help you as long as they have what we call a "local counsel" consultant or a member of their firm with some knowledge in that State, which most commercial lawyers do.

Also a brand new, massive hospital just opened up in Chitre earlier this year.

One is a partnership and handles commercial projects, the other is a LLC and handles small projects like kitchen or bath renovations.

There is also a big revitalization project in the Portland area, but I think there is a perception of that part of town and it's relative distance to the other areas already mentioned that make it a hard sell.
