What should be the next step in identifying the current owner?

Work to identify the specific area or neighborhood you want to be in, contact a agent and start receiving deals on the MLS.

How did you identify your partner?

@Karlo Alamo I would start by identifying your investing strategy.

Using those steps allow you to identify appreciating properties with stable rental income, and value oriented investments. 

I advise you create a mortgage spreadsheet to see the loans status/state at each payment this will give you a better way to identify where you might set objectives. 

Or would I just charge 75$ for the cleaning fee and just buy the drip pans and not worry about identifying it on the itemization? 

Have you identified your goals?

Property 2 - $307k value, $155k debt = $152k equity - held for 5 yearsProperty 3 - $298k value, $136k debt = $162k equity - held for 3 yearsPurchase property - undeveloped land - for sale for $475k Questions:Is it as easy as selling the rentals, sending the cash to the intermediary, identifying that I want to buy the land, having the intermediary buy the land with the cash? 

I’m re-reading “The Best Ever Apartment Syndication Book” by Joe Fairless and Theo Hicks and working on identifying my target market.
