v=iCvmsMzlF7oIt's pretty good and hits on a lot of the things that you're talking about in your post. 

However, I think I have more solid thoughts and questions now.I really want to do buy and hold real estate investing.I have about 20K in a PLOC, a credit rating about to hit the 800's, and a monthly cash flow of about 2500+ I can throw into rehabbing.I have been looking at Baltimore City cheap housing and wanting to buy between the 5 and 10k range in which I know will be most likely complete rehabs. 

I hit the web and stumbled across biggerpockets i have been stalking the forums podcasts blogs and webinars as much as possible but hesitated to reach out. well i couldn't have found bp soon enough because i have now stumbled upon a partnership that is willing to  finance a small multi family, and put the title in my name, in exchange for 50% of future profit.needless to say i am very nervous as a couple months of reading in no way make me a qualified investment vehicle. but i am not willing to let this opportunity to enter the field of my dreams disappear. nobody in my extended social circle has any viable knowledge in real estate. so hear i am reaching out to the multitudes of knowledgable investors here on bp. i am open and grate full for any advice and criticism on any topic and would really love to find someone who understands my market.

How much would it cost to build to hit that ARV?

I guess the postcards hit today and I received so far 38 calls ( some no message but I'll call them back too). 

So yellow letter marketing which i do myself a little time consumming but I do roughly 80 bucks a week this allows me to mail out 120 letters.Since I usually only send out letters to 2-3 zip codes in my area depending on how many names I get off of freedom soft Im still going back and forth to the records office to get probate list so I can be doing something while I wait to see if I get any hits.  

The point that really hit me was you would NOT quit your job yet.  

If the complex needs a new roof, the pool refinished, repaving of the parking lot, landscaping, painting, any number of things, you as an owner get hit with the assessment.

If anyone wants to connect, talk deals, or just socialize hit me up!!
