I've been reading BiggerPockets for about 2 months and felt its time to make myself available to regional, national and international RE investors.

My number is for big ticket capital expenditures... not repairs & maintenance costs such as paint, toilet repairs, etc.

That may give you enough capital for down payments on investment properties.3) If you have been living in the house for more than 2 years and owned it that entire time (and do this before the tax reform bill in Congress potentially becomes law), you can exclude up to $250,000 in gain from taxes ($500k if MFJ).

You mentioned you’re at $0 monthly cash flow, is this after expenses such as capital expenses, vacancies, etc?

I've found several of your 10 takeaways relative to my engagement w/investors and raising of capital. 

In addition, my many years in the mortgage industry provided great real estate financial knowledge and access to capital.

Nashville is very hard to find a good deal and once you find it its not easy to capitalize on it. 

I don't think I was clear - this scenario would be mutually beneficial if the partner didn't have much capital to work with.

I would use the cash flow for future capital or for paying down the principal. 

There's lot out there this time of year... and not everyone has the capital you do...
