If you really want to buy and hold for the long haul try to limit partners.

My partner and I are interested in doing some sandwich lease options.

And Wendell to answer your question, residential just seems easier to get into, unless one of my mentors like one of the deals I can find for them and somehow structure the deals where i can become an equity partner in the property for my construction services...Carolina, the new mall is off of Balmoral ave, right across the street from the rose not convention center.

I was denied a pre-approval and am looking for a partner on this deal.

I am looking at possibly purchasing the 5 unit office building myself and 2 partners rent space in.

Focus and knowledge of history and accurate determination of the furture are even more critical in a resort area.I was one of the founding partners of a large ski resort in Colorado, now known as Sol Vista.

Even if you are not technically a lender but a partner, do your homework.

My partner and I could have wholesaled it and make $15K or so but we felt it was too good a deal to give away.

I believe I've got a possible partner in the making for what I believe is called a rehab and hold type deals, and I told him I would get him and me the Bigger Pockets flipping book, but is this best resource for this type of deal?

I am a tax partner at Moss Adams, LLP where I work with Silicon Valley families, entrepreneurs, investors, etc as their tax advisor.
