I don't want to sell (property has huge capital gains and no loan) so my next option is to put a loan on it and use the proceeds for the intl purchase.

Some might think it best to wait until the market dips again to buy, or maybe look in other areas... but I am very motivated to get involved, gain more experience, and build additional capital right here in my own backyard so that when it does drop I am even more poised to act. 

Thanks for the insight

I understand what the standard down payment percentages are for jumbo loans for a given credit score, but does anyone have any insight or advice on who or what I should consider next?

Currently, looking to grow my company exponentially and gain connections and the only way to do that is to be a positive influence in the world so that way you stick out and gain recognition. 

Great insight!

Do you both co-sign on the loan and simply have a contract that outlines how the cash-flows, capital expenditures, capital gains, etc. will be divided?

Hey BP,I have just found a quadplex last night and I wanted to see what you all thought and if you had any insight into what I am trying to do.

As someone that is exploring the REI world this kind of insight helps with what to expect.
