I live in NJ and looking to get started with larger more commercial deals.

So now I would have maxed out my HELOC and will have a larger HELOC payment on top of my other expenses for the property.

Basics of the partnership:- All the properties will be in my name (I have the high credit & W2 income)- I will be investing $25-50k per year of my own funds into the business to buy more property- My father is in an all cash business so the idea is he will be getting his money in via renovations and ongoing maintenance/CapEx - I will be responsible for all the "white collar" tasks and hold ultimate decision making ability as everything is in my name- He will be responsible for "blue collar" tasks; finding properties, coordinating with contractors, etc..Our goal is to build cashflow for a 10 year period before we would every need to start "taking" the cash flow out of the business.

the clock is ticking on having to permanently remove the tanks. there are other issues but these are some of the more important diligence tasks.

So what would you do to make this 50k sum a larger one!?

Here in the USA, since it is private, it can be expensive (you don't pay the test but probably have to pay the dr, nurse, the seat, the air you breath in the facility and all the crazy charges) and I'll bet the number of cases is much much larger that what is reported even now (if you conduct few tests you can only have few positive cases).

I am curious if anyone could recommend a course or seminar that would teach about syndicating deals and another course, or could be same course, on analyzing larger apartment complexes.  

Sure the rate is a little higher, but if you're only deploying that capital for 6-12 months, it's negligible.On the other hand, if you want to do a larger MFR as a long-term buy and hold, it might make sense to do a refi and use the money as a down payment.

They're larger institutions so they have a financial reputation to uphold.

Prices on the larger homes seem to be all over the place.We are experienced with self managing vacation rentals in Florida.
