If I were to invest that kind of money into education (as I do regularly) I would want it to involve hands on experience and potentially some form of partnership in the deals I want to establish credibility around. 

I have never done a partnership.

If you’re looking for a potential partnership feel free to reach out.Appreciate any insight or experiences you have found helpful!

Get married first, or start a legit partnership with her.

I've heard there are ways around that to change the recording on the deed without having to refinance the mortgage or triggering the due on sale clause. 

The last thing the realtor wants is to list a Shortsale to low because it may not even trigger a BPO to be ordered by the bank which is ultimately what needs to happen before we know what the banks position is going to be on a property.

I don't see it. you really need to learn the local rental market down there before you decide to pull the trigger.

@Daniel Dietz thanks for taking the time to explain how you make this type of partnership work, I really appreciate it.

I’ve been tempted to buy in Keansburg but have never pulled the trigger.

Don't spend too much time structuring partnership right now, you need a deal
