I could possibly do a partnership with someone who has construction skill and funds to do the development without purchasing it outright.    

Could these be alleviated by using my smaller downpayment to get into a partnership?

We are both eager to jump in but are running into road blocks on how to structure this small partnership. 

We don't typically sell our properties but we are in a scenario where we have a partner that has a life situation requiring the partner to need to get out of the partnership which we are deciding to sell.

But this time around we were considering sending two-to-three mailings to the list BEFORE sending an invitation to the luncheon.This would hopefully build familiarity, credibility, and somewhat of a rapport with the members of the mailing list, to get more attendees to our next luncheon.Aside from Alan Cowgill, I have yet to find someone that has had success with developing new lender partnerships with this method of inviting strangers to a meeting.SUMMARYSo before we invested into hosting another luncheon, I wanted to run this by you guys.

We were proposed an opportunity on our first multifamily property and we could use a bit of information.We were presented an opportunity to enter into a JV partnership and need advice on how to structure the partnership.

They'd likely be a large corporation or hedge fund that would want no part of a partnership on the deal.So that might be another thing to consider.

The group seems to be very pro-active with no soliciting or sales and already relationships and partnerships have formed.

Some people just like helping people out"The rising tide lifts all boats"Some people like the infectious nature of someone excited about learning.Some people look at it like a partnership...I teach you, you help me.Some people say, "I teach you, you sign up for my expensive seminar, I teach a little more, you sign up for more seminars..."

We will have on partnership per flip so maybe class doesn't matter, as long as I can have multiple files for that same $30/mo price?
