I agree with you totally ,some people take ages before taking decision, doing the research after research without any action regarding investment.

@Mark Holencik I was looking to have it for my knowledge because of the advantages spoken about on the BP podcast.Keep in mind I'm totally new to RE and REI.Thanks guys!

Total house value of 1 million with half million mortgage.2) I have 250,000 Home Equity Loan that I can borrow anytime from the bank to make real estate investment.3) My family annual income is between 200k to 250k, and my goal is to buy 10 properties in CT, and make $10,000 monthly passive income in the next 10 years. 4) Specifically, I would like to buy one multiFamily house at a year, and it will create a free $1000 cash flow each month. 

As a general rule is that you should not expect some Agents are not being totally honest.Just be honest about what you are doing to the Agent and they may or may not say everything you said to the seller. 

My goal is to own a cash flowing (obviously) rental property by the end of this summer.

Admittedly, I'm pretty new at searching for general property details in any shape or form, so it would not surprise me if a search like this is super obvious and I can slap myself in the head. 

Some are free, some might have a fee, but still worth saving you time and obviously getting things done that you would not be able to do otherwise.This is a good website/directory that lists all the real estate offices by county NETROnline.com - click on Public Records Online Directory.

Obviously proving to underwriting that it is my primary residence becomes a whole other issue.

The question is, how do i show the lender that we have the total assets needed to cover the down payment when i will be acquiring some of it from my partner?

Plus, it's a total waste of time.All transfers are recorded at the county level, and many counties around the country have on-line sites where you can review transfers.
