Within a few miles radios.

I’d prefer to not be actively involved with the management but am open to it I suppose.

Debt financing was our main preference, but we wanted to ask about partnerships to keep our options open.

I prefer the property to be vacant so I can use my connection to place their contractors in the property.

Can someone refer me to a real estate attorney that works with investors, fix & flip, buy & hold, and wholesalers in Fayetteville, NC preferably but in the Greater North Carolina Region will suffice, Raleigh/Durham etc....

You need money, experience, or luck, and preferably all 3. 

@Nicolas Narducci I would HIGHLY recommend attending "secrets of successful syndication", which is an event The Real Estate Guys Radio hosts put on a couple times a year.

I was wondering if it would be preferable to find a partner here on BiggerPockets that is local to the market, or if it would be better to go with a Turnkey company that services the area. 

For resale/marketing for renters, I hear more buyers preferring gas. 

I would start looking now because most sellers do not prefer VA loans to conventional and may take you longer to find a property.
