Lots of options and paths forward and a great community hear to connect with. 

I'm trying to get an idea of different rental collection metrics in different metros across the country.

And leaning on a local real estate investor is actually an easier path than leaning on a local bank.  

I am trying to figure out a few different options when it comes to buying out my partner when the time is right.We are currently 50/50 in the deal financially, minus his land cost that we built the property on together, and took out a construction loan to build 6 houses, a pavilion on river front property in the Texas Hill Country.

@William MoyaI chose the Airbnb path with 25% down.

I avoid buying any deals with any major negatives to it such as busy streets, near railroad tracks, in airport flight paths, having a large number of stairs to climb from street to front door, commercial unit next to or behind it (unless the play is to convert the usage of course), or any major factor that will hinder your buyers pool With a smaller buyers pool comes less competition for your unit and therefore, typically will make it more difficult to sell (longer hold times) and for less than the model match on a non busy street or without major detrimental factors.This opinion of mine comes from 15 years of experience and making some of these mistakes.

Hi @Corey Duran I am a commercial mortgage lender based in Brooklyn but do deals over the country.

It also makes you think about the false lifestyle that is portrayed on TV and this book sets you on a new path.2) The Millionaire Real Estate Investor by Gary Keller - This book will cover all the fundamentals of real estate investing.

She will stay at while visiting me from out of the country, but when not here i will help her rent it out .
