Definitely connect with an investor-friendly agent, they should have all the knowledge, resources, and connections you will need.

Best of luck with selecting your market—there's a wealth of knowledge and supportive investors here to help guide you along the way.

You and the other posters here have been generous in indulging me in this exercise of considering this "partnership" / BRRRR, but demonstrating that we can invest successfully on our own power before seeking out partners is not only my strong preference but just sound business logic.As a new investor my head starts to spin when I start to think about investing, and the many gaps in my knowledge reveal themselves: how to structure a partnership? 

Any knowledge or expertise in this area is greatly appreciated!!

I agree with what others above said, that having a reliable, honest and knowledgeable team is the most important thing...more so than perhaps the location. 

I grew up on the east side of the town with a well versed knowledge of the neighborhood.

I would do what @Mike Grudzien says and talk to a knowledgeable attorney on this.

Have invested in ABQ with first purchase in 2020 - and that was based on my knowledge as a film/TV friendly area and affordability.

@Jonathan SmallThese are just general and common knowledge about Florida known to most. 

Would love to connect and knowledge share if you are interested.
