Again, all so another of my partners could jump into manage where I left off, if I weren't around anymore.

My partner and I put on some investor forums monthly in Scottsdale, great way to connect with other investors.

I suggest to save up for 6-12 months while learning the market better or partner with someone who has the cash while you do the legwork.

My advice would be to partner with someone who has additional funds so you can buy something that is of quality. $8k won't get you anything in a class B or A market with 20% down or even 10% down. keep going though!

We would regularly get emails with requests from new Kiavi staff or partners we had not previously been introduced to.

:-)BTW, I'm actively looking for working partners with some cash to put in for the short to mid-term.

I prefer graduate students whenever possible because they don't have time for partying, are of legal age anyway, and generally tend to be by themselves or with a partner so it's more like renting to a couple.

FYI, if you're cash strapped - not the worst idea to potentially partner up with someone to soften the blow of the $30-$40k for the garage/rental completion. 

I have a partner in the bay area right now.

@Tyler Kesling who are you going to be partnering with to take down a 20+ unit property?
