My wife and I have overhauled our personal budget to reflect the 'pay yourself first' approach (allocate in order: income comes in -> invest -> donate -> fixed expenses -> variable expenses -> fun $$).We are looking to see what experienced people generally recommend for a holding tank for that 'invest' allocation while we target our first real estate deal.What financial vehicles have you guys used that works well for this?

Vetting Potential PartnersOnce I find a potential partner, what are some key questions I should ask or red flags I should look out for when vetting them?

we are in compliance.

I'm may be biased (because I'm an agent), but a Realtor will be your most important team member to start off because we are usually the most networked and have Property Manager, Lender and Handyman recommendations for you already. 

It certainly could be a red flag, but not necessarily.

We are wondering what to do next....multi family unit?

Hey @Jonathan Baptiste, so we are a bit different than some.We have a large house that can sleep 12 comfortably and we provide a lot of stuff.

Quote from @Sri Reddy: We are a team who are venturing in to constructing a multifamily unit from groundup.We don't have any prior experience in construction and are looking for financing loan options.

Quote from @Lisa Albright: Hi All,Newbie here, just a quick question we are building an addition on our second home, we have a primary residence, and two rental properties.

If so, I know credco for us sends someone to our office to make sure we are compliant.When we boarded on the IM side it was intense but I actually am glad to go through that process, it means they are serious about compliance.
