All suggestions are welcome.Thank you all for your help in advanced!

Any suggestions? 

Most importantly, I am looking for suggestions on CU's that offer great terms and conditions in the Chicagoland area.

We have been looking at turnkey providers as well as look at properties that we can purchase ourselves and hand over to a property management company.Me and my business partner want to hold onto our day jobs since they provide us an excellent source of capital for REI.

An excellent attorney is worth every single penny.We used to use an attorney - very nice guy - who charge us under market rate.

I do believe piper suggested the old "subject to my partners approval" con in another thread. 

You can look for investors on sites like craigslist also.You can go to your local REIA meeting and meet investors there, that will probably be the easiest way to find a bunch of investors you know are ready and looking to buy.If you want a list of potential investors, you can do what was already suggested. 

Here are what I can add to the  BP table:- I built a comprehensive apartment investing excel model - buy and hold and refinance- Extensive deal/ financial analysis skills and experience.- Extensive work experience in wealth management, tax, private deal structure.- Success track record, creative problem solving, and great eyes for beauty in making ugly place beautiful while not spending a ton of money upgrading.- Since 2002, experience in SFH purchase, buy and hold, remodeling, property management.What gets me going:- Folks with track record in apartment investing to check out my financial model on this deal- Local Chicago Team with proven track record in apartment: contractor /inspector (subcontractor - plumbing, electrical, roof, exterior, interior upgrading), property managementThank You!

For my day job I do financial modeling and consulting for billion dollar companies which has turned me into an excel ninja.

I'd suggest defining what financial peace of mind is to you, and focus on elements of this biz that will get you there fastest.
