Goals for next year are to scale both things and be more aggressive with my growth. 

I have not attended a Live Event but think it could be beneficial for networking and hopefully help me start to scale upward.

Leverage will also allow you to scale your portfolio and net worth much faster.

We like multifamily and large apartment complexes because of the cashflow and economies of scale by having more units under less roofs.

This is on a bigger scale ($50MM projects), but I deal with partial and final lien waivers all the time. 

I thought of a few options but wasn't sure how they'd work out in practice:Reduce my equity stake (say, 30% instead of 50%--in that second example, that would effectively give my partner a 14.8% cash-on-cash return)Stick with a 50% equity stake but agree that my partner is entitled to a greater share of any monthly cashflow to meet their rate of return goalsDesignate that a higher portion (e.g. 75% or 100%) of any cashflow goes to my partner until it's equal to their initial cash investment, after which it reverts to an even split (so assuming 100% of positive cashflow goes to my partner, in the second example, he or she would be "repaid" in 2 years 8 months)Tie my equity to my work (as a manager) on a sliding scale--at closing, my partner would have 100% equity, but I would effectively "buy into" the property over time based on what I would have otherwise taken as a management fee (in the second example, since a 30% management fee would normally grant me $7,200 per year, I'd effectively "repay" $7,200 per year towards my half ($16,500) of the $33,000 cash invested in the property, and so after the first year, I'd own a 21.8% equity stake, after the second I'd own a 43.6% equity stake, and then after 2 years 4 months, I'd hit my 50% equity stake)These are just a few "creative" things I came up with after mulling this over a bit, but maybe there are downsides to some of them or maybe there are other options.

Wanting to grow in scale - and I saw the opportunity to trade a hot asset - residential mf - for an under appreciated one - commercial mf - How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

The disadvantage of going that route is when you try to scale it up.

Regarding your question about mapping out the park, you may want to talk to your local manufactured housing association.

Hi Alexander,In case it can help w/ your scaling plans, you might consider unsecured funding.
