I remember I did an exchange from one property to 4 and I still had funds left over and I was just going to pay the boot on it.

Thanks Jorge for your tips and advice.I agree to have boots on the ground and enough research needs to be done from my side and that I'll do before jumping into anything further. 

He has more of the money for a down payment and closing costs, but I will be more of "the boots on the ground", analyzing the property and dealing with any issues that arise. 

When you don't have boots on the ground you can trust, contractors run all over you.

Do they have boots on ground actual experience purchasing, managing, and finding tenants for the type and location of the real estate they advertise?

You can  be a money partner in a JV deal with someone who's "boots on the ground".But first and foremost, educating yourself on every single RE investing option prior to taking action and investing. 

I’ve been reluctant to reply to this thread because the op has been rather combative with other posters, even posters that have been podcast guests.

hey bill...i'm thinking/hoping we jsut have a miscommunication here...when YOU HEAR rinse and repeat you're thinking that he will boot out the current buyers and sell on terms the same property to new buyers, right??

Another factor was my buddy became a realtor there so I felt a little more comfortable with boots on the ground I could trust.  

Anyone have some good experience with boots on the ground there, who can share market insights, best areas for long term single family holds (I am focusing on cashflow).
