While I often “trade” properties, a friend of mine is a buy and hold guy.  

I only tell that stuff to my friends and people I like.

HI Brian,You can find BiggerPockets Pro Pricing here.If are a Stessa Pro User, there is no additional discount off of the BiggerPocket Pro account. 

However, you are talking morals and ethics with a gentleman who has successfully done business with perhaps hundreds if not more users on this site and hundreds more who have never heard of BP.  

In this case, you would draft an operating agreement that specifies each partner's role—your friend providing the cash and you handling the rehab and management—and that profits and ownership are split evenly.

I would advise finding an investor friendly realtor when you choose a market.

He is also a jerk, so none of his friends or family are willing to help him out.

From the architectural wonders of Downtown to the tranquil, family-friendly communities on the outskirts, there’s always something new to explore and learn.The city’s constant evolution means different investment opportunities are always surfacing, whether it's the push for sustainable living or a growing emphasis on smart home technology.
