I am interested in maybe partnering on a flip with someone if anyone is interested, but on that how do I figure out who is a good person to partner with.

I would say that you need to partner with someone that has money.  

We can find investors/partners who may help finance a deal. 

I'm doing most of my investing via partnering and lower entry points.

I have a strong background in finance graduating with an MBA from Dayton and 7 years of experience, but I am starting a new career path in real estate.

If someone in the NOVA/DC area is willing to do a joint venture deal on a flip or wholesaling deal, I would love to partner up OR even if I could tag along to see how a deal is started from point A – and then finished to point Z (FOR FREE) – this would be most useful!

Yardi published a September Rent Survey for multis and Sacramento leads year-over-year rental growth with 11.1%, followed by the Inland Empire and Seattle (both at 9.0%).While rent growth keeps decreasing, multifamily fundamentals remain strong.

My partner takes the calls (I do about 20% of them), views the property, and makes offers.

Or does this seem to be a way to build wealth as long as you actually can construct a list of cash buyers to be partners with who know the Market and everyone walks away from the deal happy.
