If you would like me to pass your info on to some other investors to see if they would be interested in joint ventures, send me a quick private message and I'll put the word out to a few savvy investors in town.  

If you do not trust your GC and you want to make sure your money is going to pay for the subs' work on your project, you can opt for joint checks.

Joint ventures?

Hopefully with the help of the bigger pocket community, I can find someone to exchange nuggets and possibly work on a joint venture deal while learning.

I am mostly in Wyoming, but have a few in Ohio and Colorado on joint ventures. 

Use the money you would spend on coaching and do a joint venture with a person already investing in your area. 

While consistent business is appealing, we are more interested in the prospect of a joint venture where one party provides the funding (equity partner) and our company (project management) handles the entire rehab start to finish.
