They post plenty of Flip/Buy and hold opportunities rather than what's on the MLS.

Try the numbers with a LT rental but don’t hold your breath.

Starting my journey in Real Estate, focused on buy and hold multi-unit properties in the CT and FL states.

@Jeff Miller if you come down South I would be happy to meet up with you.I haven't been as active as some other investors in going to investor meet-ups but I find that they can be a double edge sword as you have seen with Rich Dad Poor Dad.Real Estate is about the long game and so is life.You want to decide where you are going and make investment and life decisions to get you there.

Getting started is the hardest part of anything, but it sounds like you already have experience renting, holding, and managing property.That's one part of the BRRRR process that is no longer a mystery for you and I think that is awesome.If there are prospective deals that you are considering and would like some assistance for reviewing the numbers, that is one of my favorite parts of being a lending partner.

What are other options to buy and hold while recycling my cash and not getting too deep on negative cash flow?

A holding LLC in a protected state and two LLCs--one in the state you operate and one that has title.All titles go into one LLC, all operations go in the other.

It sounds like if you just structured it giving him commissions it would not really work out considering he clearly wants more involvement/skin in the game on the project.Maybe just split it LLC 50/50 and the commission savings is a preferred return over his split on the exit?

They hold a Raleigh meeting every month, and it's one of the best-run REIAs I've been a part of.

FTL is a great area so I recommend holding for a while if you can.
