@Jeff Wilson welcome to BP and good luck with your multifamily ventures!

Offer seasoned investors to JV (joint venture) where you find the deal and they help walk you through it for 50%.

Can I joint venture with him so that he purchases the property with an FHA loan under his name and all he has to do is live in one of the units?

It's a good reason we're venturing into MFR's this year so we have some control over value.

I think its a lot of people get in thinking it is a fast way to riches, and when they realize it is just as hard if not harder to build this business than any other business they move on to next venture.

I found this site and loved it, so here I am venturing into what up to this point in my life is unknown territory, a profile on the world wide web.

Glad to hear of your latest venture.

Even though I've ventured down south my roots are in Portland OR :) The 'keyword alerts' are great!

My family (Dad and brother) and I are currently running a private security company in Dallas, and are excited to start a new family business venture of rehabbing property here in the DFW area.
