Any suggestions for what aspects of the business I should be focused on learning first (property analysis, networking, financing)?

Admittedly, I'm pretty new at searching for general property details in any shape or form, so it would not surprise me if a search like this is super obvious and I can slap myself in the head. 

Hi Terri,Can you PM me more details on your duplex.

Or we can pick up 2 duplexes with the $50K.What you have to do is pick areas within an hour or so of where you are and do a GRM (Gross rent multiple) analysis.

Feel free to share any other provider details that you have worked with to get Trust Deed.

accommodate a buyer's request for detailed rental and financial history, when selling only a small segment of your overall portfolio?

@Mickey Bradshaw  there really is quite a lot of detail that goes along with a being a JV partner,  much more than is suggested by gurus. 

@Jason Howell I completely agree with an excellent and detailed explanation you received from @Lee Ripma.

Getting a loan would be a separate issue.The loan terms depend on the lenders, here is a list of lenders who specialize in non-recourse loans with brief overview of their programs, you would have to contact them directly to inquire about the details, I'm not affiliated with them and simply put this list together as a resource for BP members: https://www.biggerpockets.com/blogs/2810/50272-lis...

Also before you decide to buy a property you need to have an Operating Agreement created by an attorney clearly detailing each person roles and responsibilities.
