However I would like to continue operating the property-management side of the business.

Outside of the office I bring a risk management perspective and a demand for operational efficiency to my real estate investment and management.I have experience managing both residential and commercial properties as a landlord.

I bring to the table finding the deal, and essentially managing the property, expenses, operations.

Here is the way I have done it:1) Setup an LLC that will solely hold this new investment2) Draft the asset specific investment plan with your target strategy, timeline and projected return profile 3) Get an operating agreement together wherein you would define what would be your duties as the Managing Member and what would be the duties of the Members.

We’d have a promissory note and/or operating agreement?

Since the leads are all organic, it's pretty hard to beat.
