I'm looking for a primarily DIY project, so I'd be interested in finding a lead "consultant" for the project, who would provide expertise and any tools, while I'd provide the labor, materials, etc as well as compensate them for their time.

@Trebor Johnson Seems like you are well on your way and good luck on all your REI ventures in the future.

I am currently employed as a Behavior Therapist and would like to venture into real estate, specifically small multifamily buy and hold investing.

I am still new to real estate investing but have been talking with few people about partnering up. Was wondering about any good or bad stories people may have on this topic

Best of luck with your investing ventures!

@terry Nguyen I would recommend you invest in a fix and flip like what Terry is recommending or Joint Venture with someone that can go on the title and go for appreciation or the Brrrr method where you get your money back and can invest again, while building long term wealth.Good luck!

I have a business venture that has raised money but needs a couple more chips to be thrown into it.

Also, after what happened to you, nobody will blame you for deciding to stay at home when it comes to real estate investing.Finally, there are no guarantees in life and, in spite of all the research I do, the precautions I take and the control I exert, the possibility always exist that I could be screwed over, like in any venture.
