Big shout out to @Brandon Turner and @Joshua Dorkin for creating such a resource.My Story:I'm marketing specialist working a full time sales role and focusing on buy and hold rentals in my free time.  

Working with a team of like-minded individuals with the same goals and objectives is the ultimate leveraging tool to increase gains and expand your real estate portfolio.

Understand her mentality in broad terms to be able to tell if she's able to come around (objectivity is crucial here). 

Best to call a credit specialist ( they exist) and confirm this w them.

My objective is to learn, grow and succeed as a real estate investor.

Is there any reason the end cash buyer would object to doing it this way?

That includes your Accountant and Lawyer and Eviction specialist etc.

I have heard a lot of horror storiesMy objective is to find some lower price point cash flowing rentals as I feel the LA market has matured and peaked quite significantly... my idea is that if i lose 10% on a 300k property mark to market (unrealized and potentially cover the note if i have to in a worse case scenario ) its not as bad as losing 10% on a 1,000,000 property mark to market (and potentially realized due to an inability to stay solvent if it remains unrented longer than i have reserve)any feedback would be appreciated sorry if this post is in the wrong category

In other words, I don't want anyone helping me financially unless I am 100% sure I can repay them and then still make enough profit for myself as I go onward in such a career.You make a very compelling argument though, so I'll have to marinate on this for a while to decide if I still object or not.

I don't want to be comfortable and taken advantage of, I don't want to except that working 9 to 5 as a specialist is the only way to make money, I don't want to settle for less because of the fear of the unknown.
