Any opinions, input that may help me out looking more into rentals but open to other ideas

Trying to get an idea what a range of cost per sf it would be to build.  

Any ideas?

You become the expert in finding great deals and split the rent with the investor who puts up the money.Hope these ideas help.Good luck.

If you don't know anything about real estate than getting your licence isn't a bad idea but one has nothing to do with the other. 

Going to one without already having a pretty good idea of what you are after is just asking to spend money on wind.You could also talk with your local investors and see if they are willing to share their knowledge.

I know the deal can be structured anyway we want, but I am looking for examples so I can get some idea on what has worked before...For example:Two way (50/50) Flip- Partner 1 provides all capital for buying/rehabbing at prime + 5 (say 9% flat, no points)- Partner 2 does everything else, identifies property, manages rehab, flips property- After project done each partner gets 50% of profitThree way (33/33/33) Flip- Partner 1 provides all capital for buying/rehabbing at prime + 5 (say 9% flat, no points)- Partner 2 does project management, accounting, records- Partner 3 does coordinated all the work required to rehab the property- After project done each partner gets 33% of profitThanks in advance

The number of deals you'll actually get is a function of your conversion rate:Deals = Pageviews * Conversion RateThis equation can give you a rough idea of how much traffic you need to get to your site to get the number of deals you're looking for.  

I like to plan ahead ;) I like the idea of showing the place once I get their notice to fill in any gaps. 

I 2nd the idea of looking into Moab.
