Hello everyone,I'm a newer investor and looking for a little advice for a potential partnership and multifamily investment.

Ideally these properties will have positive cash flow + buy and hold potential (probably goes without saying). 

Louis as a high-potential market.

When considering potential tenants, it is important to have a clear and consistent policy in place regarding credit scores and other factors.

Quote from @Carlos Ptriawan: you know what's funny, even when using direct booking (eg: from the PM), the potential renter is still has too choose from 30 different houses or even more.it's just not worthed, I also never type "hilton.com" or "hyatt" when booking i always search for "hotels" or "hotwire" , and that's it.for buyer/renter it is about aggregated experience....Sounds like we're on the same page.  

What tax benefits might you receive that could potentially offset some of your tax burden with such high income?

You can look to a bit higher risk areas for more appreciation potential while coming closer to cash flowing today.

Love the area (Mooresville, NC), saw a huge value-add potential.

However, most of the work involved involves searching for off-market raw land with development potential, finding the owner and seeing if they're willing to sell. 

Because the vast vast majority of potential sellers are homeowners (not investors or developers selling new), and will have to find another home in which to live.
