As is typical, most are held in LLC or partnership names, which makes phone numbers very difficult without some additional work to find the name of the principal of that LLC, and then their number.

It doesn't make too much sense to sell a portion of the property if you're going to contribute it to an LLC (theoretically taxed as a partnership).Generally no gain or loss is recognized on transfer of assets to a partnership. 

Assuming this is a decently size multifamily property (30+ units) and you are bringing capital from other investors, it would be really important to have an experienced operator for the first deal or two.As others have noted for #2, you can structure the partnership anyway that you please. 

If you want to buy 1-4 unit properties you'll need to buy them in your personal name to qualify for financing so unless you are doing partnerships or commercial deals put it on the back burner.

I'm looking for a long term partnership.

Hello.  I have a few real estate agents in mind to work with when it comes to my Wholesale deals, running comps, recent cash buyer purchases, etc.  My question is, how do you reward the Agent for helping you?  I'm sur...

Of course there are tire kickers out there but as you’ve stated you have been making offers so he should see the value on your partnership.

I finally scrapped the plan of a partnership with them and bought my first flip, then my second flip, and made money on both despite making a few mistakes in the process.I have purchased my 3rd property, and will be keeping this one as a rental, and am looking for the next deal.The other guys are still talking about getting started “soon”.

I would greatly appreciate any advice on the following ideas...whether to seek a broker partnership ?

Not only that, but many General Partnerships do not have a member who is an expert on construction, including estimating costs and timelines - even if that person is not acting as a Construction Manager.
