I'm more worried that I'm simply biting off more than one can chew.

Attorneys are very good at not biting off more than they want to chew, at least good ones.

Of course, there's no reason to be intimidated by a 23 year old, chewing gum-snapping phone receptionist.

I'm sure you'll get some more experienced replies here but just to give you a couple items to start chewing on.I believe you may have two issues here compliance/regulatory and structure.I think that by bringing in a partner that is a strictly money person, but gets no management vote (I'm assuming since he only receives a % rate return), you have effectively syndicated or something similar.

I want to accelerate my learning curve and suspect too many newbie's give up because there's too much to chew on.

I'm starting small and I trust my knowledge of the market I will buy in so I really don't think I'm butting off more than I can chew.

I said I think we bit off more then we could chew and we weren't getting things completed and turned over.

Look at trees close to the roof and needing to cut back branches where the leaves pour in to heavy into the gutters and also branches cause critter problems with squirrels etc. accessing the roof and getting into the walls and chewing on electrical etc.

If I were the seller on a 50K property and found that the buyer I contracted with claimed or led everyone to believe they were qualified and was dealing in good faith to find they passed the contingency periods and was heading to closing, then failed as they didn't find an end buyer, I'd probably chew out the selling agent (if any) and go on.....if I had taken a 500K property off the market, the buyer would be hiring an attorney.

Dear Fayetteville NC Investors:Given the bull market (read: high prices) leading up to 2019, I wanted to find a long-distance Market that wouldn't chew me up, spit me out, and take all my lunch money if there happens to be a Market correction.
