Anyone have any recommendations for a book on constructing a new apartment complex and not just any other book that speaks like an infomericial, but something that is more of a guideline, with more step by step (high level is ok) instructions.

I see a few high level ways of doing it.Scenario #1:- Both he and I co-sign on a loan for the building with $500K each in cash towards downpayment.- We contribute the asset to a joint LLC that we createScenario #2:- He takes out a loan and buys the building for his own LLC.- He then sells me a portion of the LLC for $500K.I see some pros and cons to both scenarios, but I mainly want to make sure that I follow the established process.  

@Connor Cushman yes the percentage varies by brokerage and experiance level. 

Qualified is 1 and ATS environmental is another.Qualified Tank Scanning was recommended to me by someone I trusted.

@Terre Oswald in your search you don't have to stay in your backyard.  1031 is a federal statute that all 50 states recognize at the federal level.
