Although one of my partners has a lot more knowledge in REI than I do, I do not want to rely 100% on information from her.

I am new to real estate investing and I have two partners that I am going into business with.

Searches for deals, partners and other similar things are best done in the correct forum and within the guidelines spelled out in each BP forum.Can you tell us more about your prior history and why you focus on commercial RE?

If you don't have any experience with that then see if you can partner with someone who does.

A better solution MAY be to either partner with some responsible, long time friends, or buy a "fractional" ownership.

We're a commercial real estate investment firm that partners with investors to purchase commercial properties typically 150 units+.

But, it is tough to have a working relationship with a person that may only be loyal to profit, and not you, their (in effect) partner.

We are scrambling to shore up some cash, but my business partner and I are tapped as far as credit goes.

I've been doing this for 3 years, and my partners for 8.

I do not want to lose the properties orhave foreclosures on my credit.I would sell one or more properties outright at a discount.I would take on a partner to hold and manage the properties.
