I told her that I'm new and have been building a small team and wanted to joint venture with her.

I was born and raised in Lakewood, CA.Good luck on your new venture

That's because they recognize these things can be done just as successfully for a lot less money than their time is worth working ON the business.If your goal is to invest as a hobby or as a part-time venture, then do what makes you happy.

after attending some of my local real estate investment group meetings i am leaning towards starting my real estate investment career by doing a joint venture with a highly recommended investor in my group. he is the co-organizer of my investor group and teaches a 4 Saturday (which i am not taking) on real estate investment strategies n sustainable repeatable systems. i have bin reading and downloading every piece of information i can on real estate and am confident i am ready to get my feat wet. i would still be actively searching for a personal investment property which i will be beginning to actively searching for on may 1st .. are there any specific questions i should be asking as far as joint venture

Hope to hear from you soon and prosperous ventures to you!!!

I was wondering if all of my BP friends could give their opinions about these types of ventures.

Welcome to BP JJ Moore There are quite a few of us here from Texas.You will find a wealth of information and help here.Good luck with your venture!

My retail contractor’s outlet would market their products to be purchased right across the street; I may even be able to joint venture with big box, or profit share.

But I realize I will most likely need a "day job" starting out to pay the bills & provide vital capital as I venture into real estate investing.

Curious as to how your investing ventures are going for you.
