I joined this forum to connect with others, learn from those who’ve been in my shoes, and maybe even find people to partner with in the future.If you’ve got any tips, especially around raising capital or structuring your first deal, I’d love to hear them!

I would love to open a joint account with my partner without forming an LLC.

I would look for investments with owner financing to skip past that requirement.Maybe you can partner with your parents on the first property?

We partner closely with some great realtors!

I prefer graduate students whenever possible because they don't have time for partying, are of legal age anyway, and generally tend to be by themselves or with a partner so it's more like renting to a couple.

My partner and I quit within a few months and started our own.

:-)BTW, I'm actively looking for working partners with some cash to put in for the short to mid-term.

We don't allow any "deal-making" in the forums, which includes advertising your services or properties, looking for partners, etc.

My advice would be to partner with someone who has additional funds so you can buy something that is of quality. $8k won't get you anything in a class B or A market with 20% down or even 10% down. keep going though!

Again, all so another of my partners could jump into manage where I left off, if I weren't around anymore.
