Is he going to just tell you to knock on doors and write letters, or is he going to introduce you to well vetted agents in your market that are known to source deals and sell for realistic prices?

If you put those same dollars to investment property you get to write it all off.

Is that the only asset class that you enjoy now?

@Jae Yoo you have a few options:1) Hire an attorney to write a threatening letter.

When I have provided it, I write it in the lease that it's not included in the lease and I'm providing it as a courtesy only and if the tenant wants to use it they may and if it breaks down, I won't be replacing it.Allen

Keep that in mind:)Regarding partnering, have tried it several times and most times it ends with a split.So, if you go forward with partnership, recommend making sure you both agree in writing, on how a split would work.Otherwise, you an both share everything you leanr and help each other out monetarily as needed.

Enjoy your $3 million home with that weird guy living in your backyard forever. 

The property was sold to us for $106,000 ($46000 purchase price+ $60,000 for a full rehab to be completed by ABC Baltimore).After 2 years (as of Aug 2019), I am writing to report that I lost thousands of $$ in this investment (breakdown attached).

But my market is still better because of my team and our personal enjoyment of non REI.  

I don't think buying a property with the intention of writing of negative cash flow is a sound investment.
